Early Meadow Rue, Meadow Rue
Blooming early in the season, Thalictrum dioicum (Early Meadow Rue) is a graceful, clump-forming perennial boasting clouds of tiny, nodding, greenish-white flowers in mid to late spring. Hanging like small tassels, the male flowers feature yellowish stamens while the female flowers are adorned with purplish pistils. Resembling Chinese lanterns, they are borne in long-stalked terminal and axillary clusters above the ravishing foliage of lacy, gray-green, compound leaves. Although the delicate blossoms are very attractive, Thalictrum dioicum is grown mostly for its fine-textured foliage which remains attractive from spring through fall. An excellent shade-garden plant.
