Boehmeria platanifolia (Sycamore-leaf Boehmeria)

Sun to Part SunZone: 4-8, guessing 36" tall Origin: China, Japan, Korea

We were thrilled to find yet another in the overlooked genus boehmeria that makes a great garden specimen. The deciduous B. platanifolia makes a 3' tall x 3' wide texturally enchanting clump of upright stems, clothed with fascinatingly bold, deeply incised green leaves, each attached to the stem by a bright red petiole. The top of the stems are adorned in late summer...I use the term "adorned" loosely...with floral stalks that look like limp pipe cleaners. Visitors to the garden seem quite enchanted with this...we hope you feel the same. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
