The Nimbus™ Pink Meadow Rue looks fantastic when in bloom, but the foliage is also lovely. The light pink flowers of the Thalictrum Nimbus™ Pink have a fluffy look and bloom on tall stems from May through June. Deep green, fern-like foliage provides a lovely background to the flowers and gives the plant a stately look throughout the rest of the growing season.
Meadow Rue is tall, so plant near the back of a mixed bed, so the towering stems will not block smaller plants. The bold, textured flowers make a statement during the spring, but the green foliage easily fills in a space for the summer and fall. This plant is deer resistant but attracts pollinators. Grow this dazzling beauty in USDA zones 5 through 9.
Nimbus™ Pink Meadow Rue Care
Meadow Rue needs full sun to partial shade but will do best with at least 3 hours of direct sunlight. Soil should be rich and allow for drainage. This plant is drought-tolerant but give it water when the top few inches of soil are dry. Meadow Rue is not a heavy feeder, especially when grown in rich soil but fertilize in the spring for healthy growth.
Pinch back spent flowers so the plant maintains a tidy appearance and encourages more blooms. This plant is a herbaceous perennial, and greenery can be trimmed back in the fall.
Nimbus™ Pink Meadow Rue Spacing
As a mounded, upright plant, the Nimbus™ Pink Meadow Rue will grow 24 to 28 inches tall and 12 to 16 inches wide. When creating a dense mass planting, space Meadow Rue 12 to 16 inches apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
