Appearance

The stipules are noteworthy in that they are fused together and leaf like. The chartreuse yellow flowers are held in dense clusters above the foliage. This plant, together with a similar but dwarf variety, "A. erythropoda", has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. The plant self-seeds freely and can become invasive.
