Thalictrum

These elegant beauties have delightfully airy sprays of blossom

Few plants provide a seasonal haze of colour better than thalictrum. Their airy sprays of fluffy blossom on erect stems hang in the air like delicate pastel-colored clouds. Generally known as meadow rue, thalictrum are herbaceous perennials and a rather surprising member of the buttercup family Ranunculaceae.
