Chinese Meadow Rue, Yunnan Meadow Rue
Tall and slender, Thalictrum delavayi (Chinese Meadow Rue) is an upright herbaceous perennial, favored for its lacy, refined, green foliage and its airy clusters of pendulous, lilac-mauve flowers adorned with conspicuous creamy stamens. Borne on wiry, purple-tinted stems, they bloom profusely from mid-summer to fall. This Chinese Meadow Rue adds elegant vertical lines to the garden. Being a ‘see-through’ plant, it is quite versatile and may be placed in front of drifts of shorter perennials or at the back of borders where it will act as a delightful foil.
