Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From Asia, comes a bold-foliaged perennial with 5" x 5" rounded, jagged-edge leaves on 4 foot stem. An interesting, beautiful plant it reminds one a bit of a stinging nettle, which it is a relative of, but this plant has no stinging abilities just 'stunning' abilities! Lives happily in sun or shade as long as the soil is evenly moist but well-drained. Self seeds some if happy. Host plant for the Eastern Comma Butterfly, possibly others.

A fine foliage plant in the family Urticaceae and it is easy to see the family resemblance in it's cousin the nettle. But no worries, this is a venomless pussycat making a clump of tall stems with dangling panicles of tan flowers. Great texture for the moist shade garden. From China/Korea.
