Boehmeria macrophylla var. rotundifolia PB 02-530

For lovers of foliage, things don't get much better than this. A strong perennial with stems to over 1m, bearing very large rounded, softly hairy, matt-green foliage, conspicuously toothed at the margin, deeply veined, held on red tinted petioles, and to top it all off a long very slim drip-tip, up to 7cm. Collected in W. Bengal, India at 1200m and long term hardy in Paris, for example. It has been perennial for me here for a number of years, though re-emerges late, in July. If kept frost free this is a woody shrub.
