Possibly poorly positioned
We put this in the back of a difficult 'dry shade' bed and it hasn't flourished, but maybe that's not surprising. However I saw mixed reviews on purchasing so perhaps others also failed with this plant

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

This is a pretty plant and despite being very dainty seems to hold its own against slug attack, they don't seem to like it. It's quite slow growing but this may be the heavy clay soil I garden on, it is very wet during the winter. I would recommend it but have patience with it.

Not as healthy as I have seen them in festivals/garden centres. The pests eat the leaves in the early summer and the flower head seems

I planted this at the end of last season. I am looking forward to seeing how it does in a full year.

Very pleased with these. They were well packaged when delivered and, so far, are doing well in the garden!

Good plants and great fillers.

I planted my thalictrum between high shrubs in a north facing border where it is growing vigorously despite receiving hardly any direct sun. It is now in its third season and appears to be bigger and stronger each year despite its delicate appearance. When in flower it attracts attention because it is both beautiful and unusual.

This is the most stunning plant with fluffy purple flowers and beautiful black stalks... It is really striking I planted it amongst other lilac and purple shaded plants with contrasting whites it is such a lovely and very different plant.

Thanks for that Helen. I was mainly concerned if we were too far North for it to survive. If I was to order some plants for planting out, what time of the year? Could you advise please. Thanks

Hello There, It is difficult to tell you if a certain plant will grow in a particular garden in Cumbria, however these plants are fully hardy and will thrive in most fertile, moist soils in full sun or partial shade. I'm sorry not to be more help, but it is a lovely plant. Helen Plant Doctor

Hello again, As it is fully hardy it can be planted out at any time of the year, but the best times are spring or autumn. Best regards, Helen Plant Doctor
