About Spiraea salicifolia L.
Spiraea salicifolia L., commonly known as bridewort, willow-leaved meadowsweet, spice hardhack, or Aaron's beard, is a flowering shrub species belonging to the Rosaceae plant family. It is native to east-central Europe, Kazakhstan, all of Siberia, the Russian Far East, Mongolia, northern China, Korea, and Japan, and has been widely introduced to the remaining regions of Europe and eastern North America. This species has been cultivated since the 1500s for hedges and similar landscape uses, but does not grow in a particularly controlled, well-behaved manner.
