This late flowering Thalictrum enjoys a cool, moist soil and is peat tolerant, although just as happy in neutral or alkaline soil. The petaloid stamens give the lilac-purple flowers a double effect and they resemble airy clouds of Gypsophila in August. The foliage is rue-like and compact emerging in early spring from the rhizotomous rootstock. Every woodland garden should have one!
