Individual Steeplebush flowers are about 1/16 of an inch wide and are arranged in narrow, pyramid-shaped clusters that can be up to eight inches long. Butterflies and other nectar-feeding insects are attracted to the flowers.

Steeplebush (Spiraea tomentosa), also known as meadowsweet or hardhack, is a member of the Spiraea family and prefers moist to wet soil and full sun. I found several Steeplebush growing near our pond.
