Thalictrum aquilegifolium 'Black Stockings' | Black Stockings Meadow Rue

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Thalictrum aquilegifolium ‘Black Stockings’ produces airy mounds of finely divided blue green foliage that resemble delicate columbine leaves, creating a soft, lacy texture at the base of the plant. Dark purple to nearly black stems rise above the foliage in late spring to early summer, carrying loose clusters of lavender pink flowers composed of fluffy stamens that form cloud like plumes.

The species originates from woodland edges and moist meadows of Europe and Asia. In garden settings, ‘Black Stockings’ is valued for borders, woodland plantings, and cottage gardens, where the tall dark stems and light flowering clusters add vertical texture among perennials.
