Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A creamy froth of yellow-green late summer flowers is produced above the clump of narrow, pointed shining-green foliage of this 3-4' Eurasian wetland plant; pretty addition for that marshy-boggy area. S/M-W
Emerging purple, the compound leaves eventually transition to green on an upright plant 3' tall - robust and sturdy throughout the summer.
