A beautiful large perennial which is perfect for naturalised planting schemes, woodland edges and shady spots in the garden where it will offer two main seasons of interest. The first is in summer when the showy sprays of cream coloured flowers top the upright stems, and the second is in autumn as the handsome foliage starts to take on a rich red colour as it dies back.
The bronze tinted green foliage changes in colour to shades of coral and red in autumn.
Happy in a range of soil conditions, from wet to dry.
