Boehmeria nivea Glow Light Conradina It spreads widely via undergroundIf you have a woodland garden, and could use a ray of figurative sunshine, Boehmeria 'Glow Light' is for you. This amazing, bright gold foliaged deciduous perennail eventually forms a 2' tall x 4' wide patch of fleshy upright stalks, each clothed in fuzzy leaves. For us, Boehmeria 'Glow Light' has thrived in half day sun as well as light shade. The fuzzy, tan, pipe cleaner like flowers that adorn the upper half of the plant in summer are well, unusual.
