A shady garden, dwarf version. Large, spikes of bright-yellow flowers float over large leaves.  For the bog garden or shady moist borders. This dwarf variety is also ideal for containers. Very effective alongside water.

This container-friendly, shorter selection is a cross between 'The Rocket' x 'Lanternchen' made by Marco Fransen of The Netherlands and introduced by Future Plants. It was selected for its relatively compact habit and free-flowering ability. Large, rich green, serrated, heart-shaped leaves form an upright, basally branched mound.

Beginning in midsummer, a profusion of bright yellow flower spikes rocket above the foliage, creating quite a spectacle. It is stunning when planted en masse!
