Double Meadow-Rue
Genus: Thalictrum.
Species: Thalictrum delavayi 'Hewitt's Double'.
Meadow-rue has beautiful, lacy blue-green foliage a little bit like a Columbine or Maidenhair Fern in effect. This selection has cloud-like sprays of double mauve flowers that are outstanding for cutting. Despite the delicate appearance, it is fairly tolerant of warm, humid summers. Tall and narrow in habit, staking is usually required.
