Thalictrum aquilegifolium

Bring graceful elegance to the garden with Thalictrum aquilegifolium, a beautiful clump-forming perennial prized for its airy clouds of lavender-pink flowers that appear from late spring into summer. Held on slender stems above blue-green, fern-like foliage, the delicate blooms create a floating effect that adds height, movement and texture to borders. A magnet for bees and other pollinators, this charming cottage garden favourite blends effortlessly with both traditional and naturalistic planting schemes.

Easy to grow and long-lived, this meadow rue thrives in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in sun or partial shade, where it appreciates consistent moisture during dry spells. Ideal for mixed borders, woodland edges and wildlife gardens, it pairs beautifully with astrantia, geranium or hostas. Cut back spent flower stems after blooming to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage healthy foliage throughout the season.

Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
