Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This native Afghani is unrivalled among Thalictrums for fineness of foliage. A haze of small gray-green leaflets dotted above by small greenish flowers makes this well worth growing. Normally we insist on nice flowers but this foliage is way too nice and lasts long after any flowers.
Unrivalled in its class for fineness of foliage this species grows a bit over 1' tall and has greenish flowers.
