Striking wands of small red flowers (sometimes pink and red) rise 50-80 cm
(20-32") in late summer through autumn. Use this plant for
cross-hatching or exclamation marks, both in the border and the rock
garden. Some taxonomists make it native to both E Asia and E North
America; others confine it to E Asia. Our stock is of Japanese origin.
Zone 5, perhaps colder.
4" pot or rhizome. In Canada, C$6.00;
elsewhere US$5.50.
