THALICTRUM AQUILEGIFOLIUM (MEADOW RUE)
The Thalictrum 'aquilegifolium' (Meadow Rue) which I planted in 2014 and which I moved to a new position in 2015, has taken off. It's a beautiful plant with interesting leaves and fabulous flowers but it has to be noted that it is quite tall (about 90cm, 3ft), which means that it can cause some shade on any plant behind it. Ironically, I moved it last year because it was getting swamped by other plants, and this year it is casting some shade on plants around it. Don't misunderstand me though, it's not a dense plant, so is not causing heavy shade. I do recommend growing it, it's quite lovely and goes very well near the chives which are in flower at the moment. It is also going well with my clematis 'Dr Ruppel' also in flower right now.
If I had realised how tall it could get, I would have staked it, I should have staked it, and still will. Now the wind has gone and blown it over. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn't it?
