E. myrianthum ‘Mottled Madness’ (Cc. 940110)
Of all of the plants and seedlings we have grown of this species, this clone stands out for its dark spring coloration. Large leaflets are heavily mottled for a month during spring, like a burgundy form of army camouflage. While the color eventually turns to green, it usually reappears once the temperatures dip in fall, and lasts through the winter in mild climates where the leaves remain evergreen. Bright airy panicles hold tiny white flowers that emerge from iridescently blue-black buds. 8-12”. Native to China.
