Hosta Luna Moth Astilbe perhaps you'll change your mind

perhaps you'll change your mind after a few whacks with those aforementioned 6' tall trunks

with minimal damage

The 1' tall clumps of bold evergreen foliage are topped in mid-spring with sprays of nice 1" wide

rosy-lavender flowers held just above the purple/bronze-emerging

Rohdea 'Gunjaku' is essentially a larger version of Rohdea 'Mure Suzume'

Hosta Luna Moth Astilbe perhaps you'll change your mindWell, silence my lambs, Hosta 'Luna Moth' is a stunning Bill Meyer selection of Hosta 'Parky's Prize' that is probably a tetraploid mutation. The 1' tall x 3' wide clumps of thick, round, medium green leaves are highlighted with a narrow, but prominent, dark green central blotch. We find Hosta 'Luna Moth' to be an exceptional new form and a vigorous grower. Moths are not included.
