Delicate foliage on strong plants provides both movement and form in the shade garden. Still found growing wild on the roadsides near Tiny Meadow Farm, early meadow rue thrives under a deciduous canopy in our native rocky woodland soils. Even with “inconspicuous” flowers, this plant is stunning when in flower. It is a dioecious species with male and female plants; grow a colony to have both flower forms and seed set.
