Thalictrum Flavum 'Illuminator'

This robust plant is best noted for its attractive and showy young leaves which emerge bright golden-yellow in spring, changing to powdery blue-grey for the summer. Growing slightly taller than the species, it bears cloud-like sprays of fragrant lemon-yellow flowers, the perfume rather resembling that of elder, with yellow sepals and stamens, which appear in late spring to early summer.
