    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Thalictrum 'Elin' is a gargantuan meadow rue reaching heights of 8-12 feet with an upward growth rate that might rival bamboos! The strongly upright burgundy stems are clothed in blue-green, columbine-like foliage and topped in summer with clouds of tiny, ethereal, pinkish lavender flowers with prominent lemon yellow stamens emerging from round, balloon-like buds. Definitely a back of the border plant! A hybrid of T. flavum var. glaucum and T. rochebrunianum. Plants appreciate even moisture. Pollinator attractor. Deer and rabbit resistant. Possibly hardy to zone 3.

    Loosely garbed in striking steely blue foliage, 'Elin's' tall purple-tinged stems maintain a stately carriage. An impressive hybrid between Thalictrum flavum var. glaucum and Thalictrum rochebrunianum, its sturdy upright stalks culminate in open sprays of bicolored pale yellow and lavender flowers. Known to grow up to 12 ft. tall, this lofty Thalictrum paints soft smoky hues in the background and seldom needs staking.
