Kirengeshoma koreana

Overview

Kirengeshoma koreana, commonly known as yellow wax bells, is a delightful, rhizomatous perennial from Korea. Its exquisite, drooping golden-yellow flowers, each with four reflexed petals surrounding a bright yellow center, dangle from long stems and bloom from July to October. Its palmately divided green foliage is attractive as well. This shade loving beauty prefers moisture-retentive, well-drained soil and light afternoon shade. Though it is short-lived, it's worth the effort of regular dividing and propagating for its long blooming period. Kirengeshoma will make a real showstopper in any garden!
