Kirengeshoma palmata (Hydrangeaceae)

$24.00

A genus of only two species from Korea and Northern Japan that grows in woodland or on the edges in damp, slightly acid soil. Kirengeshoma is a clump forming perennial that increases slowly from short rhizomes. It puts up 2-4 ft long stems with elegant maple-like leaves that decrease in size as they reach the top. Nodding, terminal, pale yellow flowers form at the top in late summer and early autumn. The flowers have a thick, kind of fleshy feel, which has given it the common name yellow wax bells. A wonderful and uncommon addition to the woodland garden.

Sold in gallon pots.
