    A highly ornamental species selected by Ed Carman of Los Gatos, California and noted for its showy, tawny colored flower clusters that form at the tips of the foliage and cause it to bend toward the ground in a most graceful fashion. Truly a lovely sight in containers, or planted along pools and streams. Highly recommended. Hardy to 10°F. Japan.
