A top notch Asian woodland plant with large, round 24”-30” papery leaves that make a bold statement in the shade garden. A single species, it had been categorized with rodgersia, but has since become the sole species of the genus astilboides (as in “looks like” astilbes). Sends up 5 ft plumes of creamy white flowers in late summer that nearly compete with the grand foliage. For the northern garden it is one of the best for a big tropical looking foliage show. Give it room, as a single plant can be 3-4 ft wide and 3 ft tall or more!
Sold in gallon pots. Large, established divisions.
