What is Purple Meadow Rue?
Purple Meadow Rue is a tall native North American perennial associated with wetlands and prairies. It produces airy, feathery clusters of purplish flowers rather than large solid blooms.

The plant can reach up to about 6 feet in height. Its tall stems make it more suitable for the back of a naturalistic planting or wet meadow garden.

Its flowers are pollinated primarily by wind rather than by attracting a specialized insect visitor. The feathery flower clusters release pollen into the air above wetland and prairie vegetation.
Where does Purple Meadow Rue grow naturally?
