One of the finest in the genus for sheer flower-power, yet still retains the grace of most Thalictrum. Billowing masses of comparatively large cupped pinkish-lilac flowers with cream stamen over a very long period in summer, from June to Sept. Up to 1.3m tall with attractive foliage to 50cm. T. delavayi x T. elegans. Sun or semi-shade, not overly dry.
