This beautiful perennial is perfect for naturalised planting schemes and woodland edges, where it will offer two main seasons of interest. The first is in summer when the showy sprays of cream coloured flowers top the upright stems, and the second is in autumn as the handsome foliage starts to take on a rich red colour as it dies back. It's an excellent plant for a shady spot, where it can offer both decorative foliage and showy flowers.
Garden care: Cut back the flowered stems to just above ground-level in autumn and apply a generous mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant.
