-Shipped as bare root through March and as potted rhizomes thereafter; they don't root-in until summer.- Decidedly bright selection with leaves not only heavily streaked, but later in the season also creamy-white edged.For the firework effect it comes with red stems, too! For best coloring and performance, best grown in dappled shade, where the colors even more pop. Try with dark evergreen shrubbery as back ground.
