Kirengeshoma (Japanese Wax Bells, Yellow Wax Bells)

Plant in consistently moist, deeply humus-rich, strongly acidic soil in partial to full shade; kirengeshoma is one of the most refined and unusual of all shade garden perennials — a tall, graceful Japanese woodland plant with majestic, deeply lobed, maple-like leaves on arching dark stems, followed by nodding clusters of pendulous, pale yellow, waxy tubular bells in late summer and fall, a season when few other shade plants flower. The flowers last for weeks and have a luminous, translucent quality. It is an outstanding late-season bloomer that fills the gap when hostas and ferns have finished. It requires acidic, consistently moist woodland soil and protection from afternoon sun and summer drought — mulch deeply and water regularly in summer. Combines superbly with late-season hostas, asters, and Japanese anemone in the shade garden. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження діленням куща Відстань між рослинами: 24–36 дюймів Висота: 36–60 дюймів Дні до схожості: 30–60 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 13–18°C
