Yellow Wax Bells
Kirengeshoma palmata
SKU
09318
Prized as one of the most interesting and dramatic plants for shade, with large, maple-shaped leaves of deep green. Pendulous clusters of yellow, pearl-sized buds open into dainty, nodding bells in late summer. Intriguing, three-pronged seed capsules follow in fall. This handsome, highly sought after shrub is superb in combination with large Hosta and tall ferns in the woodland garden.
