PYROTECHNICS… THALICTRUM

Doesn’t it look like fireworks?

Thalictrum is a tall, willowy perennial that produces an abundance of fluffy mauve flowers on glistening black stems during the height of summer.

Meadow Rue is perfect for filling gaps in woodland gardens and shaded borders, particularly as the elegant foliage provides an ideal backdrop for smaller perennials.

The foliage of Thalictrum can be added to summer bouquets for a delicate touch.

Unbelievable, but a member of Ranunculaceae, the buttercup family, its common name is Chinese Meadow Rue.

Gorgeous leafage and pretty flowers, it loves moist but well drained soils.

It has lavender-purple flowers, each small flower is held high and is made up of tiny strands, like downy thistles, giving the plant a hazy, fluffy effect.

The foliage is scalloped and lacy looking.

In my garden, it is next to my Peonies.

So, more flowers from my garden...

 

Have a lovely day and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)
