Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Selected years ago at Heronswood Nursery, this golden-leaved form of Gooseneck is NOT a garden thug...it has spread quite slowly in our MA garden. Graceful arching spikes of white flowers on 2' stems appear in mid-summer. Plant in somewhat moist soil, and it wouldn't mind mid-day shade in hot summer areas.
