Thalictrum coreanum, commonly known as Korean Meadow-Rue, is a deciduous perennial herb that is native to the temperate regions of Korea. It is typically found in forest understories and grasslands, where it thrives in moist, well-drained soils. This plant exhibits a moderate growth rate, reaching a height of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters) and a width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters). The foliage of Thalictrum coreanum is delicate and fern-like, creating a light, airy texture in the garden. During the summer, it produces clusters of small, greenish-yellow flowers that are subtle yet attractive, especially when massed.

Korean Meadow-Rue is valued for its graceful appearance and its ability to add a soft, textured effect to garden compositions. It is often used in woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized areas. While it prefers full sun to part shade, it is adaptable to a range of light conditions. Gardeners should provide it with medium amounts of water and plant it in loamy or clay soils that offer medium drainage. Although not widely known for its flowers, the plant’s overall contribution to the texture and structure of a garden space is significant. It is generally low-maintenance, but it can be susceptible to powdery mildew in humid conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
