Kirengeshoma palmata

Yellow Waxbells

The interesting thick-petaled yellow bell-like flowers of Kirengeshoma palmata appear on blackish stems in August and September, followed by weird three horned seed capsules (Dr. Alan Armitage calls them "Stephen King ... Fruit").  Features large (8") coarsely toothed, deeply lobed leaves resembling a Maple or Sycamore leaf.  Slow to get established, Yellow Waxbells needs a moist woodland. Kirengeshoma comes from Japan, where it is considered highly endangered in the wild.
