Rue Anemone, Anemonella thalictroides, Syndesmon thalictroides
Thalictrum thalictroides (Rue Anemone) is a charming woodland perennial boasting white to pinkish flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm), adorned with 5-10 petal-like sepals and a dense cluster of small green pistils. Blooming for about 3 weeks in mid to late spring, the delicate flowers appear in loose clusters atop reddish-brown stems and rise above a lacy whorl of 3-parted, dark-green leaves. This small, delicate-looking plant is quite tough, as both leaves and flowers tolerate hard frosts in spring. Rue Anemone becomes dormant in summer.
