This lovely and vigorous Thalictrum has the striking black stems of T. 'Black Stockings', but with white flowers. So many visitors commented on it in our field we had to introduce it. The white flowers are arranged in large puffs, showing off the black stems. Great crown count. Blooms the first year, but much better after a winter chill.
