Thalictrum Splendide
Thalictrums are great hardy perennials from bringing an airy, delicate height to your border. Thalictrum splendide has frothy, aquilegia type foliage that dances in the wind and rain, above it rises tall stems with small lilac purpler flowers with yellow centres. I even love the flower buds before they open, little purple balls. It is a great flower for cutting and also loved by bees and butterflies
