Kirengeshoma palmata, commonly known as Yellow Wax Bells, is a distinctive shade-loving perennial that brings elegant late-season interest to woodland gardens. Native to Japan and Korea, this architectural beauty features bold maple-like foliage and unique waxy yellow flowers that appear when many other garden plants have finished blooming. Perfect for creating dramatic texture and color in shaded landscape designs.
Elegant Woodland Perennial
Yellow Wax Bells offers multiple seasons of interest with its striking characteristics:
- Large, deeply lobed dark green leaves that resemble maple foliage
- Upright purple-tinged stems reaching 30-45 inches in height
- Unusual pendant, waxy yellow bell-shaped flowers in late summer
- Excellent deer resistance and minimal pest problems
- Long-lasting blooms that provide color when gardens often lack interest
- Architectural presence that creates dramatic focal points in shade gardens
This woodland gem combines beautifully with hostas, ferns, and astilbes to create textural contrast in naturalistic garden settings.
Growing and Care Information
Plant Yellow Wax Bells in part to full shade locations with rich, moist, well-drained soil. This perennial thrives in humus-rich, slightly acidic conditions similar to its native woodland habitat. Provide consistent moisture, especially during establishment and dry periods. Hardy in USDA zones 5-8, it requires minimal maintenance—simply cut back dead foliage in late fall. Divide established clumps every 4-5 years in early spring to maintain vigor and promote healthy growth.
