Floaty foliage and fluffy flowers gives Thalictrum 'Hewitt's Double' a graceful, airy presence. The loose sprays of tiny mauve-pink, pompon flowers provide a soft-focus haze that will melt the heart of even the toughest gardener! If you're a fan of delicate, lacy foliage, you'll find the scalloped leaves and almost impossibly slender stems of this double-flowered Thalictrum are just so alluring. The cloud-like display erupts in late spring, floating breezily on tall, wiry stems that top out at around 1.2m-perfect if you have a gap to fill in the middle of the border or to help beautifully screen a fence.
Commonly known as double Chinese meadow-rue, Thalictrum 'Hewitt's Double' is a resilient hardy perennial which copes range of conditions - a border space in sun or light shade, preferred soil types include loam and clay. It looks its best in the dappled shade and most at home under the shelter of surrounding trees. Try teaming Thalictrum 'Hewitt's Double' with wispy grasses and dainty columbines for a dreamy meadow planting scheme.
Our Thalictrum 'Hewitt's Double' plants are supplied as a 9cm pot with healthy growth, ensuring a strong start. They are carefully shipped in our unique cardboard box, designed to keep them safe and in top condition. This ensures they arrive healthy and ready to thrive in their new home.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
