Thalictrum dasycarpum, Tall Meadow Rue, Quart Pot
Thalictrum dasycarpum, Tall Meadow Rue
FS-PS, Zone 3, Blooms June-July, 6’ x 2-3’, Medium wet - medium, deer resistant
aka Purple meadow rue
Thalictrum dasycarpum is a dense, clump-forming meadow rue that grows 3-5' tall. This perennial wildflower has a central stem that is unbranched below, becoming branched above. Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, rich, humusy soil and dappled sun. Intolerant of hot and humid conditions.
Even though honeybees and other bees are sometimes attracted to the abundant pollen of male flowers, the flowers of Purple Meadow Rue are not cross-pollinated by insects as its female flowers are devoid of nectar. There are relatively few insects that feed on the foliage, stems, and other parts of this plant.
The photos are from early June 2024. I wish I had taken more on a better day! I am so grateful for these early bloomers that help the bees and give us cheer.
