A feathery display of foliage plagued with a surly name. Tall, creamy blooms explode in early summer, brightening shady spots.
Completely dies back in winter. Needs rich, moist soils in the heat of summer.
Dioicus means "having the male reproductive organs on one plant, and the female on another" - in this species, the males have slightly showier flare.
