Plant description
Perfect for the back of the herbaceous border, this statuesque perennial has purple/blue-flushed foliage and an abundance of lavender-purple summer flowers. The stems are tall and sturdy, which means that it rarely needs staking despite its height, and its light and airy silhouette ensures it never becomes oppressive.

How to care for Thalictrum Elin:
In windy or exposed positions, it may need supporting with brushwood or garden canes. Divide congested plants as new growth begins in spring, although divisions may be slow to re-establish. Resist cutting back the old growth until early spring.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
