Thalictrum is also known as meadow rue.

Although we're probably most familiar with the taller thalictrum varieties that grow in partial shade, there are around 130 species across the globe. These include dwarf variations and thalictrums that suit free draining sunny sites, as well as the tall, airy perennials that we associate with wild and woodland planting schemes.

They all share pretty, delicate foliage, similar to aquilegia, and small, pale coloured flowers. The taller varieties with airy clouds of flowers tend to complement plants with bolder foliage and look good growing among ferns, Japanese anemones and grasses. Thalictrums also make great cut flowers.
