Thalictrum cf. foetidum

Description

A small size Thalictrum with fine, lacy, bluish-green foliage that turns yellow-russet in the fall; hard to capture its beauty in pictures. The foliage is similar with T. alpinum, just that in this case there is a not very pleasant fragrance when crushed (hence the name).
Given its fine texture it can be combined with any plants. I particularly like the combination its fine foliage makes with the summer gentians and Roscoea growing nearby in my garden.

Germination: I always germinate the seeds with GA3 (1000 ppm) indoors in February and get fairly good size plants by late May. Self-sown seedlings appear around the established plants, so fresh seeds may germinate at warm without GA3. Always safe to sow the seeds in late fall/early winter if possible.
