Description

Perennial plants essential for compact, heavy, moist, and marshy soils. They are very resistant to cold, never get sick, and live for a long time in the same place. In addition to flowering, the foliage, more or less divided, is often decorative, although it disappears in winter.

In nature this is a dwarf plant with single leaves, deeply toothed. It must be installed on the edge of a flower bed to fully enjoy it. All varieties derived from A. simplicifolia are superb in our gardens because they particularly love humid environments and fresh air. This variety forms a regular, rounded clump with beautiful shiny foliage, cut, very dark green, with chiseled edges. Plume-like inflorescences, thin, flexible, and curved, pure white, stand out wonderfully against the dark foliage. Interesting novelty.
