The whitish central mark on the foliage of
T. ichangense var.
minus from Crûg Farm might be only that variety or form they have (?)
I received this as
Thaictrum ichangense. But it has now been identified as
T. koreanum, because it is both tuberous
and rhizomatous. (Thanks Aaron F.!) Even when young, the leaves have no such markings. It is really quite a forgiving plant for me. In my earlier and more ignorant years as a gardener, I had it growing in full sun in a dry garden, and even there it survived for many years, although just barely. But as you would expect, it does best in part shade or shade with ample moisture.
