About This Plant
Thalictrum Black Stockings (Meadow Rue), 'Meadow Rue', is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.
Meadow Rues (Thalictrum) are graceful shade-garden perennials with delicate columbine-like foliage and airy plumes of small flowers in pink, purple, or yellow.
Part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. Hardy USDA Zone 4 to 8. Provide consistent moisture. Some species reach 6+ ft.
For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
