Thalictrum venulosum, commonly known as Veiny Meadow-Rue, is a deciduous perennial herb native to temperate regions of North America. It thrives in a variety of habitats including moist meadows, forest openings, and along streams, often preferring rich, moist, well-drained soils. This plant typically grows at a moderate rate to a height of 1.5-3 feet (0.46-0.9 meters) and a width of 1.5-2 feet (0.5-0.6 meters). Veiny Meadow-Rue is characterized by its delicate, lacy foliage and clusters of small, pendulous green or yellow flowers that bloom in early to mid-summer. The flowers, while not particularly showy, add a subtle charm to garden settings.

Veiny Meadow-Rue is valued for its airy texture and is often used in woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized areas. It is appreciated for its ease of maintenance and its ability to attract pollinators. In cultivation, it prefers partial shade but can tolerate full sun in cooler climates. It requires medium amounts of water and grows best in medium-draining clay or loam soils. While generally disease-free, it can occasionally suffer from rust or leaf spots. Gardeners should be aware that it may self-seed and spread within the garden, which can be both a benefit for naturalizing areas and a consideration for more formal plantings.CC BY-SA 4.0
