Thalictrum Splendide White ('Fr21034') (PBR)
meadow rue
Tall and graceful, this perennial adds height and movement without overwhelming the border. Its finely divided, lacy green foliage forms a soft mound, while slender, upright stems carry delicate sprays of pure white flowers from early summer to autumn.
The airy blooms of Thalictrum ‘Splendide White’ create a light, elegant effect, perfect for mixing with ferns and other shade-loving plants. Thriving in moisture-retentive, fertile soil, it prefers dappled shade but will tolerate sun if kept well-watered.
Ideal for woodland edges or mixed borders, it may need discreet support from neighbouring plants or staking in more exposed gardens.

How to care for Thalictrum Splendide White ('Fr21034') (PBR):
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 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.
