watering
When it comes to watering, Meadowsweet likes to get soaked 1-2 times a week depending on the weather. During hot summer months, it is important to provide enough water so the soil does not dry out completely, as this can cause the leaves to wilt and the flowers to fade. Be careful not to over water, however, as this can cause root rot or other diseases.

pruning
Meadowsweet should be pruned in late winter or early spring before the plant begins to sprout buds. Prune back a third of the overall growth and remove any weak, dead, or damaged branches. Additionally, when pruning meadowsweet plants, always prune to an outward-facing bud in order to encourage outward growth of branches. Pruning more than a third of growth can weaken the plant and delay flowering.
