Plant information

Thalictrum pubescens, tall meadow-rue, produces clusters of small, delicate, white flowers in late spring to early summer. Growing up to 3-7 feet, it thrives in partial to full shade and well-drained, moist soil.

This plant is highly attractive to butterflies such as the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail due to its nectar-rich flowers. It also serves as a host plant for several species of moth, providing essential food and shelter for their caterpillars.
