Saruma henryi (Saruma henryi)
Description
Saruma henryi is as sublime as it is uncommon.Its velvety leaves and distinctively shaped,soft yellow flowers make it a superb specimen in a shady border,where it can contrast with more finely textured plants.Saruma bears stems and leaves that are densely pubescent,giving the plant an overall silvery felted look early in the season.Its one-inch,pale yellow flowers have three petals and are borne at the tips of each stem in spring and intermittently through late summer.It forms an upright perennial,2 feet high by 2.5 feet wide,with heart-shaped leaves that fan out horizontally in all directions.This Chinese native is choice for the woodland garden as a single specimen or in drifts.
