Meadow rue (Thalictrum minus) is a perennial for woodland gardens, meadows, and naturalized areas. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It blooms in yellow and green from early to late summer. It grows 36 to 60 inches tall and spreads 24 to 48 inches, so give it room.
