A veil of lilac held on wiry stems, Chinese meadow-rue brings height without heaviness. Finely cut, bluish-green foliage lifts like fern lace, and above it float airy panicles of nodding, soft-purple flowers—each one a tiny tassel that shimmers in the slightest breeze. Elegant and light, it threads through companions rather than crowding them, giving borders a gentle vertical rhythm from midsummer onwards. Despite its delicate look, it’s quietly robust, happiest in cool, moisture-retentive soil with a little shelter from the fiercest sun.
