How to Care for the Plant

Water
The plants, similar to other perennials, have medium water needs. Water the plants regularly making sure the soil doesn't dry out completely. Also, make sure you don't overwater and make the soil soggy. Mulch in colder climates.
Pruning
Thalictrum can be cut back after flowering or delayed until the late winter/early spring as the foliage and seed heads remain attractive. Thalictrum can self seed but not so much as to be invasive and is trouble free. If you need to divide a clump, this is best done early spring or early autumn.
Fertilizer
You can fertilize the plant every spring using a general, all-purpose mixture.
