early meadow-rue

Overview

Early meadow-rue, also known as Thalictrum dioicum, is a North American native wildflower and a member of the buttercup family. It has finely divided, light green foliage emerging from multiple stems in spring. In late spring, lacy clusters of fragrant, white flowers appear atop tall stalks. This perennial may grow up to five feet in full to part sun, and prefers moist, organically enriched soil. This long-blooming wildflower attracts pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Early meadow-rue can be used in naturalized plantings, perennial borders or prairies.
