Planting and growing information
Chinese meadow rue thrives in rich, consistently moist, well-drained soil in locations with full sun to partial shade, with dappled shade preferred in regions with hot summers. Plant bare roots in spring, spacing them 24 inches apart to allow proper development. Hardy in USDA zones 5-7, this perennial blooms from mid to late summer, reaching approximately 40 inches tall. After flowering, cut back spent stems to encourage fresh foliage growth and maintain a tidy appearance. Regular watering during the growing season ensures optimal performance.
