Chinese Meadow Rue - Thalictrum Delavayi Plant - Rare Plant - 1 quart pot

Rare and hard to find!!

Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM) by the Royal Horticultural Society, this gorgeous plant will really bring the pollinators to the yard! 

It's hard to believe such a gorgeous plant is so easy to care for. Just be sure to place somewhere where it won't get hit by winds unless you offer it support as it gets so tall so quickly.

This stunning plant grows fast and will bloom this year. Because this plant gets tall fast, so trimming will probably be necessary for shipping unless you order this in early spring.

Zones 4-8 (it doesn't tolerate heat or humidity very well)

Height: 5-7 feet

Shade tolerant

Rabbit and Deer Resistant

Pollinator Friendly

Easy to care for

Will grow in sun or shade in rich, moist, well-drained soil

The species is native to southwest China and Tibet.

Long-lasting double pinkish lavender flowers.

Excellent plant for the perennial border or woodland gardens.

Cut flowers similar to Gypsophila

This perennial is one of the highest requested perennials I have. It is a tall back of the border plant with a seemingly never ending supply of lavender, lacey and airy fully double flowers. Excellent tall selection for the back of the border.  Perfect for cutting, your vases will overflow with this cheery perennial. Everyone will ask you what it is and where you got it. This perennial is very unusual and unique and very seldom found at any nursery or garden center. It took me years to propagate this great plant and I have done so by divisions. This will be one of your all-time favorite flowers. I have it planted in my garden in full sun, on the north side in total shade and also in part shade. They all do wonderfully, the shady spaces plants get much taller. I LOVE THIS PLANT!
