Thalictrum Hesperium

Thalictrum hesperium, also known as the western meadow rue, is a striking member of the Ranunculaceae family. Native to the western United States, it thrives in moist, shady environments like forest floors and stream banks. Its tall, spiky flower clusters produce delicate, pale yellow blooms that add a soft touch to the landscape. The plant's feathery leaves and unique structure make it a favorite among gardeners seeking both beauty and biodiversity. With its historical use in herbal medicine, Thalictrum hesperium holds both ecological and cultural significance.
