early meadow-rue

Early meadow-rue should be watered regularly throughout its growing season, which typically begins in early May and extends until the end of June. During this time of year, it should be watered about once or twice a week, depending on soil moisture levels and weather conditions. Make sure to avoid over-watering as this can cause root rot. Water the soil thoroughly in order for it to reach the root ball of the plant. In hot weather, it may be necessary to water more often. If the temperatures are cooler, you may water less. After flowering, you may reduce watering until early the following spring.

Early meadow-rue (Thalictrum Dioicum) does best with full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. In shadier areas, at least 4-6 hours are necessary. Early meadow-rue will do best if these hours of sun occur in the morning, when sunlight is more abundant and not covered by the hot afternoon sun.

Early meadow-rue (Thalictrum dioicum) should be pruned in mid spring, before flowering begins, to promote more vigorous and bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased branches, as well as any extra, crossing, or overly long branches. Cut back the remaining branches by 1-third to 1-half of their length to maintain a well-defined shape and encourage healthy new growth. Regular annual pruning of Early meadow-rue in early spring will ensure that the plant does not become overgrown or leggy.
