I grow these guys for their foliage.  I snip out and remove the flower stalks as they develop.  The flowers are in loose clusters atop long stems in a drab sulphur color.

With just the foliage the plant grows 8-10" high and about 12" wide.  Need, dividing every couple of years.  The flower stems grow to a little more then 18" tall.  Flowers are a sulphur yellow/green color in clusters atop these stems.  I snip them out each year since they look (to me) messy and are not particularly pretty..

Glad you told me about the flowers...I would've been disappointed.  Park Seed and/or Burpee or wherever I researched them before acted like they were SO beautiful - the flowers, I mean.  So, now I'll know that they're not all that spectacular!!  Wink  I love the plants though...thanks for sharing pics!!!

Check out my trade list!!

How tall do these get?

How tall do these get?  And, how wide?  Do they spread?  I am starting a shade garden this year and, actually, I am in the middle of a trade for one of these.  I think I'd like to get a couple more of them but I'll wait and see...
