Our garden sports many kinds of meadow rue, but this is the only yellow one. The plants in our two clumps are robust, not minding full sun and a bit of drought, and the blue-green foliage is a good backdrop to many other plants. We cut ours down after blooming, since it has some tendency to flop at that point.

Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Kodyjane | Jul 15, 2008 | I purchased this plant from Ambergate Gardens in the fall of 2007. I planted it in a semi-shady area and it has grown to about 3 feet, but now it flops. I would like to move it, but do not know where to put it where it will look its best. What other companion plants and light exposure is best?
I recommend full sun, and soil that isn't overly fertile. It will grow taller than 3 feet most likely, so keep that in mind for placement and companions. |
| Jacqui | Jun 27, 2010 | Hi I love the pictures of your plants - beautiful. I've just bought this plant and have different zones in my garden regarding soil - the front garden is very free draining and sandy in full sun for practically the whole day (SE england)- and I have sunny aspects in the rear garden where the soil is moist and loamy. Would this stand a very free draining soil (which supports canary bird roses, photinia, tree lupins, ceanothus etc at present) or would it benefit from having more moisture in the back garden?? Many thanks for any advice!
I'd be more comfortable recommending the rear garden - even though I've never seen much drought stress on my plants, I don't know how they would manage very dry conditions. |
- Seed from '04 garden. Baggy 35F (9w; 3%G, 40d) - 70F (0%G, 3w)
Try leaving at cold conditions even longer. Never observed self-seeding in the garden.
