Meadow Rue, Rue, French Meadow Rue, Columbine Meadow Rue, Feathered Columbine, Spanish Tuft, Tufted Columbine, Thalictrum aquilegifolium
Thalictrum aquilegiifolium (Meadow Rue) is favored for its lacy, refined, bluish-green foliage resembling Columbine or Maidenhair Fern and its dense panicles of pink, white or purple fluffy flowers. On display in late spring to early summer, they give way to ornamental clusters of pendulous, wing-like seeds, therefore providing an extended season of interest. Low maintenance, disease and trouble free, this bushy plant adds a marvelous accent in the landscape.
