Often thought of as a cottage garden favourite, Thalictrum look equally fabulous in most planting schemes where they make an architectural presence.Thalictrum are said to be named after Thalia, one of the nine Greek patrons of comedy, known as Muses, possibly because of the willowy charm of providing stature while remaining elegant.Attractive to bees and butterflies, deer resistant and excellent cut for arrangements within your home.
