Overview

Fluffy mauve or white flower clusters appear in June and July, held on upright stems above grey-green, fern-like foliage. The dainty blooms of this early flowering meadow rue provide an excellent contrast with larger flowered plants. Perfect for a border in partial shade, the stems need supporting with brushwood or garden canes.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: well-drained, preferably neutral to alkaline soil
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: July to September
  • Hardiness: fully hardy

Care guide

Grow in a sheltered border with full sun or against a warm, sunny wall in well-drained neutral to alkaline soil. To prolong flowering remove the flower spikes as soon as they start to fade. Clip in early spring and avoid excessive wet ground conditions by improving drainage and incorporating organic matter to the backfill at planting, and the surrounding area. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
