Description

A collection of this fabulously flamboyant shrub which in the wild forms small single stemmed trees to 5m tall, with huge palmately lobed leaves to well over a meter wide, with woolly ginger indumentum on the under-sides of the leaves. Topped by long panicles of pale flowers in autumn through winter. More restrained in cool gardens only forming annual stems to 2m in rich well drained soil, protect the roots from hard frost. From a collection gathered at altitude on Dasyueshan in the west of northern Taiwan in 2007. The cultivar name is named for Diane Doughty an indispensable helper on our nursery as well as Sue, the better looking half of our nursery partnership.
