Native to the woods and mountains of Shikoku

and Kyushu, Japan, this perennial has broad and opposite Maple-like leaves and dark purple stems, which emerge in late spring and later highlight the pendulous, waxy yellow flowers plus glossy green and brown-streaked calyces. A lover of moist leafy soil, Yellow Waxbells work well in the woodland garden with Asarum, Astrantia and Rodgersia.
