Lovely, graceful plant
This is another cultivar that I approached with doubts about how distinct it would look from the others. I was pleased to find that the red stems are not subtle -- this is a very noticeably different variety. The plants I received were healthy, and they adapted to transplanting very well. They are growing happily in my moist shade garden accompanied by ghost ferns, pulmonaria, hosta, and heuchera. I have a line of Variegatum Solomon's seal in the row behind them, and they provide a distinct contrast with one another.
