It originates from habitats with a range of light conditions, making it adaptable. An imbalance in light can potentially hinder its healthy growth, though it has a considerable tolerance.
🌡️ Temperature 0–32.2°C
Tall meadow-rue is native to temperate regions with temperatures ranging from 0 to 32 ℃ (32 to 90 ℉), so it prefers conditions within that spectrum. In summer, some shade or added moisture can help it cope with higher heat. In winter, it should be protected from frost and freezing temperatures.
