Yellow Wax Bells is an lovely foliage perennial, forming mounds of layered maple-like leaves from spring onwards. The yellow waxy tubular bell flowers appear above the carpet of foliage in late summer and continue into Autumn, when the foliage turns yellow. Great cut flowers and an interesting architectural plant, Kirengeshoma palmata is often seen in woodland planting schemes as it tolerates deep shade. Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
