Kirengeshoma palmata

This herbaceous perennial is super hard to find, but luckily Wayside Gardens is here to help! Offering huge, maple-like leaves and bright-yellow blooms, this plant is a must-have for the woodland garden. A late bloomer, the bell-like flowers appear in midsummer to fall, dangling from erect, purple branches. The striking blooms are funnel-shaped and rarely open fully, and reach 1 to 2 inches long!

As fall creeps in, the blooms are replaced by large, 3-pronged seed capsules. Not to mention, the large leaves serve as the perfect backdrop through the seasons. There's no question as to why this interesting, shrub-like plant is so sought-after!

Reaching about 3 feet high and wide, it?s the perfect size for a variety of landscaping needs. Its clumping habit pairs beautifully with other shade perennials, such as large hostas and tall ferns. Enjoying partial to full shade, give this plant plenty of water, and watch it thrive! You won't be disappointed with interesting summer blooms that light up the shadiest of areas! Zones 5-8.
