Find fine texture for your garden with this elegant Meadow Rue. This upright selection creates a dense pillar of foliage before being topped with wispy lavender flowers in late spring. Compared with the typical leggy varieties of T. aquilegifolium, 'Cotton Candy' is well balanced with flowers sitting just above the foliage. The columnar habit is perfect for adding height to small spaces. The tall stems and long-lasting flowers make this selection excellent as a cut flower. Meadow Rue are not commonly bothered by browsing deer and rabbits.
