Thalictrum alpinum

Thalictrum alpinum is a delightful miniature meadow rue native to alpine and arctic regions throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Forming low cushions of delicate foliage, it produces slender stems carrying tiny nodding flowers in early summer. Although subtle in appearance, its refined beauty and compact stature make it highly valued by alpine enthusiasts. The finely divided foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season and is perfectly suited to troughs, rock gardens, and crevice plantings where larger thalictrums would be overwhelming.

• Full sun to part shade
