The real beauty of Early Meadow Rue comes from the soft silvery-green foliage that sits atop taller stalks. The tiny flowers are like bunches of pollen anthers drooping down. The foliage is the best part about the plant, from a human’s perspective, and it looks great when planted among shorter flowers or sedges where it rises above.
