Thalictrum 'Black Stockings'
Best dramatic garden accent for those seeking sophisticated visual interest.
Thalictrum 'Black Stockings' is a low-maintenance perennial that offers lacy foliage and beautiful pink and purple, fern-like blooms. Its striking black stems, especially vibrant in full sun, provide a dramatic contrast to the delicate flowers that bloom through spring and summer. This tall plant is ideal for the back of borders or to add color to woodland areas with moderate sun. It also serves well as a cut flower, adding unique texture to arrangements. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid this plant, making it a worry-free addition to your garden for elegant form and color.
