  Sorry but it is not Filipendula ulmaria...common name meadow sweet..see pics.
  
  Aruncus dioicus  is a huge plant by comparison...note long tassels of flowers.
  Both plants are similar in that they love wet ground.

  I always did get those two confused.  Had both in my last garden.

  I’ve got both, every year I say I’m having  the Aruncus out, huge great thing, then it starts growing and I feel sorry for it.  I did take the pink one out.
  The  Meadowsweet however, my favourite smelling flower can’t wait for it to bloom.

  Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
