Thalictrum rochebrunianum 'Lavender Mist' (30)ct Flat
Common name: Meadow Rue.
Zone 3 to 8.
Full sun to part shade.
Plants reach 6 to 8 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
Growth rate: Moderate; Herbaceous clump-forming perennial.
Sprays of tiny, delicate, lavender-purple flowers appear on tall, dark purple stems from mid to late summer. This variety is self-supporting and is less likely to need staking than the others. The distinctive lacy, fine-textured, bluish-green foliage forms a nice, low mound. Use these plants in a wildflower garden where they will naturalize with ease, or as filler plants at the back of the border. Plant in groups for greatest visual impact.
Thalictrum prefers dappled shade, though it will grow in full sun in northern regions if adequate water is provided. Plant in humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil. The open, airy habit of this perennial allows you to plant it closer to the front of the border with darker colors behind for an interesting see-through effect. Do not disturb it once it is established. It will live for many, many years without the need for division.
Attributes: Border plants, Cut flower or foliage, Mass Planting, Specimen or focal point. Deer resistant. Use in the middle or rear of a flower garden to create a background for large flowers or bold foliage. |
