Japanese woodland perennial. We grow it primarily for the handsome, large palmate leaves. Our plants have flowered for the past few years, but their presence is rather understated. Up-close inspection of the flowers, however, reveals a rather unusual shape.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
