    Like its dark, color-changeful namesake, the tufted lavender ; deep purple stamen-flowers; ferny foliage on this elegant 3' pl mound in a "stormy" show; one of the nicest. PSh/Med

    The tallest of the species and one of the showiest Meadow-Rues, this aptly named Thalictrum amasses large fluffy heads defined by pronounced rich rosy violet stamens and dark purple double florets. The colorful individual flowers unfurl like tiny fireworks, imparting a gracious glamour atop branched stems and small teal green obovate leaflets. An honored AGM recipient, 'Thundercloud' is best planted en masse against a dark backdrop.
