Boehmeria nipononivea 'Kogane Mushi' (Kogane Mushi Japanese Boehmeria)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 6-9 18" tall Origin: Japan

This wonderful selection of the Japanese boehmeria makes a dazzling foliage plant for the light shade/part sun garden. The small, fuzzy, round leaves emerge creamy yellow and become flecked with green as they mature. B. 'Kogane Mushi', which means "gold bug" in Japanese, is much slower growing than the species and for us has made an 18" tall x 18" wide clump. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
