Cotton Ball Meadow Rue is a graceful, airy perennial with fluffy white flower clusters that float above delicate, blue-green, maidenhair-like foliage in spring and early summer. The billowy, cloud-like flower heads give the plant its charming name and create a romantic, ethereal presence in the mixed border. Growing 3 to 5 feet tall, it brings needed vertical structure to partially shaded and sunny spots without the bulk or weight of heavier perennials. Deer and rabbit resistant, it pairs beautifully with roses, alliums, and ornamental grasses. Juglone tolerant and cold hardy, with excellent staying power in the garden.
