These are heirloom plants of a sort as we salvaged our parent stock from C. Leo Hitchcock's estate who was the dean of NW botany. Great evergreen plant for shade or a little sun, this has nice rounded leaflets picking up some bronze tints. We cut the foliage back in spring to best enjoy the flowers.
