Spikenard! Just say it.It sounds like you’re being unkind, but no! This lovely native sub-shrub makes a lush large clump of ferny, arching compound leaves with big panicles of frothy white flowers in summertime fading into a purple red berry cluster as fall approaches then the whole thing goes golden yellow as the year comes to an end. Native and easy in deep to bright moistish shade in a woodland habitat. 5 ft by 5 ft.
