Thalictrum
kiusianum
by Iza Goroff
Thalictrum
kiusianum is native to Kyushu Island in southern
Japan. This is a wonderful plant for the shady rock garden
where it spreads slowly to form a filmy, ferny mat about 1"
-2" (2 -5 cm) tall. It flowers in June and July with
clusters (umbels) of tiny pink puff ball flowers, all
stamens, no petals or sepals on 4" (10 cm) high thin, bare
stems.
Thalictrum
kiusianum is perfectly hardy ( to at least -32
degrees F, -35 C) in a well drained, sandy soil with some
humus (sphagnum peat is fine) added. It grows in light to
medium shade, not too dry.
A few other
thalictrums are suitable for the rock garden, but this is
the best.
