Thalictrum plants and species

Tall growing with fluffy flowers Thalictrum are one of the all time favourite cottage garden plants. They grow naturally in partly shaded damp areas, however in a good humus rich soil make excellent garden plants.

Thalictrum is commonly known as Meadow Rue, and a variety of plants and species are available for sale,  including both pink flowering and white flowering species.

Varieties

  • Thalictrum aqualegifolium is the pink flowering species pictured right,.
  • Thalictrum delavayi has mauve flowers although a white form is also available.
  • Thalictrum flavum glaucum is a lovely pale yellow to creamy white flowering species, good green blue foliage and large fluffy heads.

Fern like foliage and fluffy flower heads held well above the foliage make this a great woodland plants for the shaded border.

T. rochebrunianum is a white flowering species and is originally from Japan and is available from some mail order nurseries.

Thalictrum Care and growing conditions

A moist humus rich soil in a position with filtered or dappled light. Humidity can be a problem. Little care is required, plants can be deadheaded if required, however these plants are  a little reluctant to self seed, and we have been growing it for 15 years. A tidy up at the end of winter is all,that is needed.
