Description:
From plants kindly given to us by Great Dixter Gardens, a garden hybrid that resemble R. podophyllum, but with more pronounced serration to the large bronzy leaflets, which are borne in a wide whirl. Also bearing a dense tall panicle of small white pink tinged with age flowers late summer. A hybrid with the above mentioned and R. aesculifolia by Jim Archibald and Eric Smith of the Plantsman Nursery. An easily grown rhizomatous perennial of aristocratic merit, with large leaves that are bronze when young on this form, later maturing to copper tinted. Height 1-1.3m. Spread 1.3m. Requires a moisture-retentive soil. Thrives best in partial shade.
