notes
The French meadow rue, Thalictrum aquilegifolium 'Thundercloud' is one of the tallest varieties of the species, bearing fan-like foliage reminiscent of aquilegia (hence the name) and in summer fluffy panicles of purple florets and stamens, which unfurl like little fireworks. This mist of flowers is delicate and soft, adding great texture and height to the border.
