Product Details

Product Details

Add an element of surprise to your garden. This bold Japanese introduction forms a 3ft-high, tropical-looking but quite hardy mound of broad, bright yellow compound leaves. In late summer 2ft spikes produce white flowers followed by purple berries. Foliage stays yellow given 2-3 hours of sun.

All species in this genus come mainly from mountain woodland regions and are known for their striking foliage. They prefer fertile, humus-rich soil and are very useful in the middle or back of the border, as well as in the woodland garden.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

OUR GUARANTEE

We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-503-9624 or email us at [email protected]. Please include your order number or customer number when contacting us.

Healthy plant, grew fast

SB from Chicago, IL

I received a pint plant in early June and it grew quickly in part-sun with consistent watering. In this one season it has grown to a mass of almost 18-inch branches and had a few blossoms in the fall. It grew so easily that I have transplanted it to a larger, more shaded area against a garage to provide a bright backdrop for smaller plants next season.

Grow in partial shade in moist but well-drained soil. Plants thrive in fertile, humus-rich soil, so provide a healthy layer of organic material such as compost, aged manure, or leaf mold.
