    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Discovered as a garden seedling between Thalictrum elegans and Thalictrum delavayi by celebrated French Heuchera breeder, Thierry Delabroye, this towering floriferous Meadow Rue is indeed splendid. Heaven bound and steadfast, 9 ft. tall, crimson tinted stalks, clothed with lacy grayish green fernlike foliage, have a willowy architectural appeal. Myriad lavender-pink flowers, centered by cream-colored stamens, compose a massive, yet sprightly pastel cloud, which envelopes the entire upper 3 ft. of each impressive plant nearly all summer long.

    A recent selection of Giant Meadowrue from French breeder Thierry Delabroye. 'Splendide' is a sterile selection, and therefore wants to flower continuously. It begins in June, bearing sprays of soft lavender clouds on 6-9' stems. Plants will no doubt be top heavy, so we recommend staking for added support.
