Gorgeous sunny yellow foliage brightens a shady spot.
2020 PPA Plant of the Year
A bold and beautiful anchor plant for a shady bed! The finely toothed, arching leaves emerge sunny yellow and retain their color. Clusters of tiny white flowers in summer are followed by purple fruit. The berries are adored by birds, but inedible by humans. Foliage will retain color if grown with at least 2-3 hours of sun each day. Heavy shade yields lime-green foliage. This deciduous, fast-growing Golden Japanese spikenard is a statuesque complement to Hosta and Heuchera. Pollinators love the flowers. Native to shady forested areas in Japan.
3-4 ft tall and wide. Best foliage color in part sun.
