Yellow Meadow Rue, Dusty Meadow Rue
Thalictrum flavum (Yellow Meadow Rue) is a robust, rhizomatous, clump-forming perennial boasting a beautiful, lacy green foliage divided into many leaflets. In early to midsummer, clouds of slightly fragrant, fluffy lemon-yellow flowers appear above the foliage. Perfect, the flowers consist of pale yellow sepals and bright yellow stamens, and are held in an upright pyramidal panicle, 2-4 in. across (5-10 cm). Low maintenance, deer resistant, Yellow Meadow Rue is fairly tolerant of warm, humid summers.
