BEAUTIFUL FLORISTS’ FLOWER
THALICTRUM Thalictrum is one of the introductions into the colonies of recent years. In England it is sometimes referred to as meadow rue. It is an herbaceous perennial dying down in the winter months and reappearing in early spring. The old roots may be divided and treated the same as Michaelmas daisy and replanted during September month for flowering; about January and February. Seedlings can also be obtained through the spring season, but these will not flower until the following year. For floral work this flower is unequalled, growing about 4 feet high with pretty ornamental foliage similar in appearance to the corase maidenhair fern. The flowers are of a charming shade of pinkish mauve, brightened by a bunch of lemon anthers and stamens, the whole effect obtained being light and feathery and making a charming contrast from any other flowers. The two best varieties for growing are T. Diptercarpum and T. Ardantifolium.
