thalictrum

For healthy growth, Thalictrum pubescens should be watered moderately and consistently. Water the soil surface lightly but deeply, until it is moistened to a few inches below the surface. Avoid over-watering to avoid root rot. Water new plants every 7 to 10 days and mature plants every 10 to 14 days during the growing season, which is from spring through autumn. Reduce watering during winter months when the plants are dormant. If temperatures drop below 32 F (0 C) for extended periods, do not water the plants. During extended hot and dry periods, the plants may need additional water.

Thalictrum pubescens prefers full sun and can tolerate partial shade, however the plant performs best with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Thalictrum pubescens does not perform well with full shade, and will not flower and produce fruit without the appropriate sun exposure. The best time of day to provide Thalictrum pubescens with sunshine is between the hours of 10am and 4pm when the sun is at its highest and brightest.

Thalictrum pubescens, also known as Meadow Rue, is a species of perennial flowering plant that can benefit from judicious pruning. For best results, pruning of these plants should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. To prune, remove any dead or damaged stems down to the base. Cut back the remaining stems by up to 1/3 their original length. Doing this will help to maintain the desired size and shape of the plant and also encourage new growth. Pruning can also help to prevent over-crowding of the plant and help to ensure more vigorous growth. Pruning should be light however to ensure that the plant maintains its natural beauty and charm.
