A dwarf, airy, fluffball-flowering perennial for drifts in the front of the herbaceous border or subject for a patio pot. Finely cut foliage, reminiscent of an adiantum fern, Thalictrum ‘Little Pixie’ send up mischievous, frothy pink flowers on dark, slender stems to attract attention from pollinating insects. Ideal for wildlife and cottage gardens where its pastel, hazy clouds will delight all.

How to care for Thalictrum Little Pinkie (Censation Series):

Thalictrum thrives in moist, well-drained soil in partial shade but can tolerate full sun if kept well-watered. Plant it in a sheltered spot to protect the tall, delicate stems from strong winds and stake using plant supports made from natural materials (e.g. hazel or birch) before the flowers appear.

Mulch annually with compost or well-rotted organic matter to retain moisture and enrich the soil. In autumn, cut back the flower stems to ground level to to tidy up and encourage healthy growth the following year. Regular deadheading during the season can also help prolong flowering.

Divide congested plants in early spring as new growth appears, though divisions may take time to settle.
