Thalictrum delavayi 'Hewitt's Double' (Meadow-Rue)

Thalictrum delavayi ‘Hewitt’s Double’

An elegant, tall perennial featuring delicate, double lilac flower clusters that float above airy sprays of blue-green foliage. Blooming in midsummer, the soft, layered flowers create a light, cloud-like effect that adds height without heaviness.

Its tall, see-through habit makes it ideal for the back of borders or woodland plantings, where it can weave gracefully among neighboring plants.

Thalictrum is valued for its refined texture and ability to bring a natural, meadow-like feel to shaded gardens. It performs best in rich, organic soil with consistent moisture.
