White, upright, filamented panicles bloom Apr - May just above pretty, soft, medium green, slightly lobed leaves. Spreading slowly by rhizomes, this lovely from Asian mountains forms a delightful colony. 1' tall Minimum temperature: 0?F
It is with gleeful anticipation that we await each spring the emergence of this little gem from N Japan, China, Korea and the Kuriles. Not often offered, this melds classy floral and foliar nuances on a small scale. The white flowers are the perfect compliment to the foliage. Sue's favorite.
