    American Alum Root is a fantastic foliage plant & its ruffled leaves are streaked with silver and red-purple highlights for year-round interest. The seed for this strain was collected from plants on a shaded cliff in the Great Smoky Mountains. Despite their southern heritage, these plants have proven themselves fully hardy to Zones 4 - 8.
