Did you know
- Rue Anemone is one of the most delicate spring woodland wildflowers in eastern North America.
- Its tiny tuberous roots resemble miniature dahlia tubers and are easily damaged during transplanting.
- The double-flowered forms, especially 'Schoaf's Double Pink,' are highly prized by collectors and can cost over $50 per plant.
- Despite its fragile appearance, Rue Anemone can live for decades when undisturbed in suitable woodland habitats.
- The plant was formerly placed in its own genus Anemonella but was reclassified into Thalictrum based on DNA evidence.
