Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From the Himalayas, Kashmir to Nepal, comes this lush and luscious, large herbaceous shrub/small tree with tripinnate leaves. It will anchor any planting scheme looking to conjure up the Garden of Eden. Dense cream-green clouds of flowers are abuzz with more HONEY BEES in August than any other plant in the garden! Shiny burgundy bead-like fruit follow, gracing the terminal buds. And when the fruit falls, sputnik-like structures remain for a starry effect. Foliage is bronze in spring, green in summer, and scarlet in Autumn. Does not like transplanting or root disturbance once established. 8 ft tall & wide.Minimum temperature: -30° F
