| Hi all, I am looking for a source for white-flowered Thalictrum delavayi. I know Far Reaches Farm listed it for sale earlier this year, but I overlooked it and it has long since been sold out. Anyone know of another source? Jelitto Seeds sells seeds for €12 per packet (!). If all else fails, I suppose this could turn into quite the winter sowing project next year, lol! Thanks in advance for any help, |

| get the seeds - thalictrum is easy-peasy to grow from seed and will flower in its second year. You don't want 1 thalictrum - you want a drift, floating like a field of cow parsley or Queen Anne's Lace. |

| Thank you, Campanula! It sounds like I will have a nice little seed project next year! I am not sure why this plant is not more commonly available in the States. |

| So after reading Jelitto's website more closely, it was actually €12 per GRAM of seeds. Still not cheap, but much more reasonable. They state these seeds do not necessarily need a cold period to germinate so I went ahead and ordered some. They were slow to ship but customer service was very reliable and informative. I sowed them last night in small pots and will now keep my fingers crossed for good germination. I would like to have some nice small plants ready for early fall planting this year, but I still have a few seeds leftover for wintersowing if it doesn't work out. I now regret not ordering the Gold Nugget (primed for rapid germination) seeds of Thalictrum rochebruneanum... |
