Please Note: Plug orders being shipped have a minimum order requirement of 8 plugs.

Description: Tall stems with fine leaves and delicate purple/pink flowers with dangling yellow anthers move beautifully in the breeze and are just plain pretty. Out of nowhere the fall foliage explodes into yellow and burnt pink to light up the landscape. These are rhizome spreaders that will shoot across the garden and appear where it wasn't before. Use this to your advantage in large spaces or in hard to grow places with high competition from trees and shrubs. This is a great filler plant and would be great in naturalize areas. Meadowrue has both male and female plants.

Found in Nature: Shady woodlands and coulees to sunny moist meadows and ditches.

Distribution: Foothills to Subalpine.

Notes: Available as larger potted stock - pick up only.
