Thalictrum Little Pinkie

The plant typically grows to a height of 50 cm and spreads about the same. Its leaves are finely divided, and they have a blue-green colour that creates a lovely contrast against the pink flowers. The plant has an upright growth habit, with multiple stems that emerge from a central point, forming a dense clump.

The flowers are the main attraction of this plant. They are produced in large, fluffy clusters that are 10-15 cm in diameter. The individual flowers are small, measuring only about 0.6 cm across, but they are produced in such abundance that they create a cloud-like effect. The flowers are a soft, pale pink colour, which contrasts beautifully with the blue-green foliage.

This is a relatively easy plant to grow and maintain. It prefers a moist, well-draining soil and partial shade to full sun exposure. The plant is tolerant of a range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils. It is also relatively drought-tolerant once established.

Overall, this is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a splash of pink to their garden. Its compact size makes it ideal for small gardens or container planting, and its delicate foliage and fluffy pink flowers are sure to capture the attention of passersby.

How to care for your Thalictrum Little Pinkie

• Soil: Prefers a moist, well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. It can tolerate a range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils. However, the soil should not be allowed to dry out completely.
• Watering: This plant requires regular watering, especially during hot and dry periods. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on the weather conditions. Make sure the soil is moist but not waterlogged.
• Sunlight: Can grow in full sun to partial shade. It prefers partial shade in hot climates, as excessive heat can cause the leaves to wilt. In cooler climates, it can tolerate full sun.
• Fertiliser: This plant does not require frequent fertilisation. You can apply a balanced fertiliser once or twice a year, in Spring and Autumn.
• Pruning: Does not require much pruning. However, you can cut back the stems to the ground in late Autumn or early Spring to encourage new growth. This plant can also benefit from deadheading, which involves removing spent flowers to encourage more blooms.
• Mulching: Mulching can help retain moisture in the soil and suppress weeds. Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or leaves, around the base of the plant.

By following these care tips, you can help ensure that your Thalictrum Little Pinkie remains healthy and vibrant.
