Thalictrum Plants

The graceful perennial Thalictrum (commonly called meadow-rue) features airy clouds of delicate, filament-like blossoms held above lacy, fern-like foliage—adding elegance, height and movement to the garden. These plants thrive in Canadian gardens when planted in part shade to full sun (depending on the species) and in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soils, making them well-suited for woodland edges, mixed perennial borders or naturalistic plantings. Many varieties are tall (up to 1.2 m or more) and benefit from a sheltered spot or light staking, yet they remain relatively low-maintenance once established and attract pollinators.
