A classic that's still as imposing as ever! The backdrop of shady flowerbeds wouldn't do without it. It offers a beautiful, non-invasive transition between the landscaped area and a natural forest. Requires cool, moist soil to remain beautiful and robust all summer long. Flower spikes are borne on almost black stems above dark green, toothed foliage.
