Meadow Rue

Meadow Rue (Thalictrum) is a genus of herbaceous perennials that belong to the Ranunculaceae family. These plants are characterized by their airy, delicate appearance and can be found in various regions, often in moist woodlands and meadows. Meadow Rue typically features tall, slender stems topped with clusters of small, fluffy flowers that can be white, pink, purple, or yellow. The foliage is finely divided and resembles that of ferns, providing an elegant texture to garden landscapes. Meadow Rue thrives in partial shade to full sun and prefers well-drained, fertile soil. It's commonly used in cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, and as a backdrop in perennial borders due to its graceful height and ethereal blooms.
