A clump-forming perennial with palmate, pale green leaves with reddish purple stems. In summer and early autumn nodding, pale yellow flowers are produced on slender stalks above the attractive foliage. It's a lovely plant that is for a shady border in acidic soil out of any strong winds.


  • Garden care:
    Kirengeshoma palmata prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil with consistently moist, well-draining soil but not waterlogged. Enrich the soil with a thick layer of leaf mould to increase moisture retention.

    Thriving in shady conditions, yellow wax-bells is ideal for woodland gardens or areas with filtered sunlight. Avoid planting it in full sun, as this can cause leaf burn and stress the plant. Protect plants from slug and snail attack.
