Also known as Meadow Rue, Thalictrum ' Black Stockings' is a tall herbaceous perennial with attractive feathery foliage & contrasting violet-black stems. In June & July hundreds of delicate, spidery mauve flowers appear which create a violet haze of colour. Favouring moist soils & part shade, Thalictrum thrives in woodland gardens & difficult shady spots. It is also equally at home in herbaceous borders where it adds height & attracts bees.
