Description
This pair of Thalictrum aquilegiifolium, also known as columbine-leaved meadow-rue, is ideal for brightening up a slightly shaded bed where the soil remains moist in summer. It brings together Thalictrum aquilegiifolium with its pale lilac pink pompom-like flowers and its 'Album' form with white flowers, two excellent varieties for ornamental beds, large borders, and even cut flowers. Their deciduous foliage is cut, light, elegant, and decorative even when the plants are not in bloom. Resistant to temperatures as low as -20°C, these perennials are quite tolerant, although they prefer well-drained and slightly moist soil.
The duo consists of:
1 x Thalictrum aquilegiifolium: this is the botanical species. It displays pale mauve pink flowers and can reach a height of 1 to 1.2 m. Blooms from June to July.
1 x Thalictrum aquilegiifolium 'Album': this form offers a colour alternative with its white flowers. Slightly shorter than the wild species above, it reaches about 80 cm to 1 m.
The meadow-rues should be planted in spring or autumn, in humus-rich soil that is slightly moist but not constantly waterlogged. They prefer slightly shaded areas. In a bed, the 'Album' variety, which is slightly shorter, should be planted in front of the Thalictrum aquilegiifolium. Leave a spacing of 50 to 60 cm between plants, with 3 to 4 plants per square meter.
For a successful bed, place colourful Heucheras, especially the variety 'Palace Purple', in the foreground to provide a colour contrast with the meadow-rues. Rodgersia pinnata 'Bronze Peacock' can be positioned in the middle of the bed, with its dark foliage complementing the more delicate foliage of the meadow-rues. Behind the meadow-rues, place large ferns such as Osmunda regalis to add depth to the overall composition. Finally, interplant an Aruncus 'Horatio' between the meadow-rues. Its graceful cream-white plume-like flowers will harmonise perfectly with the thalictrums.

Planting and care
Thalictrums should be planted in partial shade on rich and moist soil, but not waterlogged. Do not prune the plants to the ground after flowering, as new shoots will only emerge in late spring the following year. Remove faded flowers to prevent excessive self-seeding.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
