PLANT of the week

Plant of the week Thalictrum ‘Elin’

‘Elin’ is one of the tallest meadow rues and is now reaching 7ft in my garden – and all without staking!

The purple stems are topped with clouds of flowers – the sepals are lilac which open to lots of yellow fluffy stamens.

Grow this perennial in moist soil in partial shade – it looks beautiful in herbaceous borders.
