Native to Japan, Korea, and China, it features an upright, vase-shaped habit with large, elongated, heart-shaped leaves that add a cool, soothing element to the garden. The leaves are deeply veined with a slightly corrugated texture, enhancing its ornamental appeal.

Design tip
Summer flowers carry the middle of the season, so place it where the bed needs color once spring bulbs fade. Keep it out of hot afternoon sun and layer it with woodland companions for a full, settled look.
