@Posy - I've always had mine in part shade, but when they get sun, it isn't at the hottest part of the day. We don't get as much hot weather here either - or hot for such long periods. Perhaps that's enough to make a difference too. A high water table will be tricky. Perhaps a little raised bed of some kind would help a bit?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks, FG. Yes , I build up the beds to raise the roots above the wettest ground. I think I will experiment with a bit more shade because that border can bake a bit. The more ordinary aquilegifolium (spelling?) have no problems.
I have several different thalictrums all of which get a quite a lot of sun. I don’t especially water them even though my soil here in Suffolk is very light and sandy. Lucky I guess?
