Kirengeshoma palmata, also known as yellow waxbells is a rather unusual woodland plant.
I featured it way back in 2006, a time when I was not too sure where I was going with my blog, in fact, I was totally groping in the dark and did not do this amazing plant the justice it deserves.
Time for a revisit.
*** Kirengeshoma in our garden ***
This unusual, and not that common perennial was moved from pillar to post in our garden over the years.
It proved to perform best of all in a position that did not receive full sun for most of the day, in fact in a south facing spot it was quite dismal.
Eventually, Kirengeshoma found its permanent home in our woodland area.
Blooming in September, some years it was spectacular, in others the biting winds and unseasonable cold weather in Aberdeen caused a fair bit of damage to the plant.
However, more often than not, it gave a good show, and was another of those perennials, that made me look forward to seeing the young shoots push through the soil in early May. Being so late in coming through the soil, I would at times think the Winter had put an end to it.
We all have different experiences with garden plants, personally I would rate this one nine out of ten, and probably would have given it a ten if it weren’t for the damage caused by the harsher weather conditions in the far north of the country.
