Although not as colourful as R. palmatum ‘Atrosanguineum’ or 'Tanguticum' this plant is worthy of a place in the wild garden, or in a bay in a shrubbery. Buds erupt with foliage the colour of milk chocolate. The first year will see a huge weed-smothering mound of mature rounded apple-green leaves, stout flower stems carry branched heads of frothy white flowers in early summer.
