Plant information
Plant Description
Thalictrum ‘Elin’ is an excellent choice for borders and wildlife gardens, featuring rich purple flowers that attract pollinating insects. This variety produces abundant flowers, creating a vibrant display from early summer to early autumn. Known for its hardiness, ‘Elin’ typically requires protection only during severe winters to ensure its continued resilience. With its prolific blooming and pollinator-friendly features, this Thalictrum variety adds both beauty and ecological value to your garden. Its adaptability and attractive purple blooms make it a versatile and visually appealing perennial for diverse outdoor spaces.
Perennials thrives in full sun—around six hours a day. While it can tolerate light shade, you’ll get the best flowering in bright, open spots.
It prefers well-drained soil, ideally sandy or chalky. Rich or heavy soils can cause the plant to flop and reduce flower production.
Water well during the first growing season to help it establish. Once settled, Achillea is drought-tolerant and rarely needs extra water unless it’s extremely dry.
Not much at all. In fact, too much fertiliser—especially nitrogen—can lead to more leaves and fewer flowers. A light feed in spring is plenty, if needed.
Yes—regularly remove faded flowers to encourage more blooms and stop self-seeding. You can cut the plant back in autumn or early spring to tidy it up and boost new growth.
Divide clumps every 3 to 5 years in spring or autumn to keep them healthy and vigorous. You can also take soft cuttings in spring.
Very much so. Once it’s established, it copes brilliantly in dry conditions, making it perfect for sunny borders and gravel gardens.
Achillea is generally low-maintenance, but it can occasionally suffer from aphids or powdery mildew—especially in humid or overcrowded spots. Good airflow and spacing usually prevent problems.
