The Gardener's Notepad

Can be kept considerably smaller than stated height, but it'll get there if you don't discourage it. Very shade tolerant, and is fond of the creek bank. Tough cookie, and commonly used in large scale commercial landscapes. Sometimes stuffed in rain gardens. Shiny dark green leaves. A Princeton Nursery introduction circa 1937.
