Thalictrum thalictroides (Rue Anemone)

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.

  • Grows up to 6-10 in. tall and wide (15-25 cm).
  • Thrives in humus-rich, moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soils in part shade. Tolerates full shade. Best planted under deciduous trees. It prefers dappled sunlight during the spring, but tolerates considerable shade later in the year.
  • Fits beautifully in wildflower gardens, woodland gardens, or rock gardens.
  • Easy to grow, Rue Anemone is generally pest and disease free.
  • Propagate by division, root cuttings or seed.
  • Native to eastern North America.
