A touch of exotica for the shady border comes with this neauty from Japan. It thrives in moisture retentive soil in partial shade and flowers from mid summer through autumn. Give this a mulch after the foliage dies down to help maintain moisture levels in the soi (it hates drying out). Will spread once happy and grow from 40-70cm high.
