Thalictrum lucidum – shining meadow rue – Ranunculaceae

Class notes: Tiny sepals. Shine to them/Shiny texture. Likes to be near shrubs/Needs a support. Attracts a variety of pollinators.

Site/Notes: Average to moist soil/rich humus. Dappled shade, partial shade. Tolerant of humid summers. Will tolerant full sun if kept moist. Zone 4-5. Mid summer blooming (June to July). Soft creamy yellow flowers. Sunny, border in the back. Up to 150 cm in height. Shimmering hazy effect, good in woodland gardens, near ponds or meadows. (Wetlands meadows, floodplain forests, or coast scrub in eastern Europe/Asia). ***lacks nectar producing glands – no nectar** Relies on wind pollination. Greenish white flowers, alternate leaf arrangement.

Aesthetic: I think this plant is magnificent in its height and hazy effect. I could potentially see this having a blending effect in a mixed border/meadow or brightening up a dim place since it has a bright/creamy/yellow-green look to it.
