COMMENTS:
Although the blooming begins late July, the
graceful spikes continue to open throughout the
fall. The foliage is dramatic with deep green,
compound leaves up to 18-inches long. It can
tolerate considerable shade. Provide a constantly
moist, well-drained, acid, humusy soil. Propagate
only in the spring.
