Thalictrum delavayi has fluffy sprays of pretty double lilac-purple flowers with yellow stamens held on upright stems above clumps of dainty fern-like, grey-green foliage. The foliage and stems start green but soon develop purple tinges. The best colour often results from stress, and pot-grown plants in full sun are sometimes completely purple. From early autumn the petals start to fall, giving way to clusters of deep-purple seed pods that lend a different, more subtle, decorative quality. This light and airy perennial is perfect towards the back of an herbaceous or mixed border. Also useful in fresh cut flower arrangements.

Flowers June to August.

Thrives in moist fertile soil in partial shade.

  Maximum height/spread approx. 150cm to 50cm.

Plants will be supplied well rooted and ready for immediate planting out.  My plants are hard grown i.e. grown outside as soon as they have developed a strong enough root system to survive.  This makes them stronger, healthier & more weather tolerant plants than those which have been grown on rapidly in artificial conditions in a greenhouse.

Postage & Delivery

Plants will be removed from the pot, carefully packed & then sent in secure cardboard packaging to protect them whilst in the postal system. I offer a postage discount for multiple purchases dispatched to the same address. When you buy more than one item you will pay the full postage cost for the first item only, then a discounted rate for each extra item purchased (please see 'postage and payments' tab above for full details). I use Royal Mail for small orders whilst orders over 2kg will be sent by carrier so the MAXIMUM postage you pay need only be £9.95 for any amount of plants. Highland, Island & Offshore delivery addresses may incur additional charges.

PLEASE NOTE - Plants will be dispatched by Royal Mail on the Monday to Thursday following receipt of cleared funds (to avoid plants sitting in the sorting depot over the weekend) and by carrier on the Monday to Wednesday. 

Thanks for looking!
