Fendler's Meadow-Rue
Thalictrum fendleri
Fendler's Meadow-Rue, is celebrated for its delicate, lacy leaves and soft purple blooms that appear in mid to late spring. The plant’s tall, slender stems can reach up to three feet in height, supporting clusters of small, lavender flowers that seem to float above the foliage. This meadow-rue thrives in partially shaded environments where it can receive filtered sunlight. It’s an excellent choice for naturalistic plantings and woodland edges, where its ethereal beauty can be fully appreciated.
