Anamonella Thalictroides (Ranunculaceae)
The rue-anemone is native to the Springtime forests of the Northeastern US. It has pink or white flowers singly, or in umbels. The leaves resemble thalictrum, so was given the species name thalictroides (like a thalictrum). It has since been found to be a true thalictrum, and now carries the name thalictrum thalictroides or thalictrum that looks like a thalictrum! Ugh! This species has several double forms that, because of their sterility, flower for several months starting quite early. They make exquisite garden plants in a cool, shady location, with rich soil increasing slowly through small tubers. One of the longest flowering plants in my garden. Starting in early May and often still in flower in July. Rare in the trade.
AVAILABLE THIS YEAR
A. thalictroides ‘Schoaff’s Double’ - Double pink-purple flowers. An old fashioned rarity.
A. thalictroides ‘Snowball’ - Double white form. Some with light pink stripes on the petals.
