Chloranthus multistachys (Multi-stacked Chloranthus)

Light ShadeZone: 6-8, at least 18" tall Origin: China

Web-Only! Chloranthus multistachys is a bold-textured gem for the woodland garden in climates where many popular large-leaf plants will not survive. Hailing from moist woodlands up to 5000' elevation in central and southern China, C. multistachys also adapts well to dry garden soils. The 18" tall x 3' wide clumps are composed of fleshy upright stems, clothed in large 1' long x 6" wide, glossy, green corrugated leaves. In late April, the clumps are topped with terminal clusters of tiny white flowers...the ideal plant if you appreciate plant textures...certainly not for the petunia crowd. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
