The enormous, maple-like leaves of yellow waxbells (Kirengeshoma palmata) are the perfect addition to the shadiest spot of a garden. That's because this plant adores shade, and cannot get enough of it. It's indigenous to the high mountains of Japan and is a member of the hydrangea family. Towards the end of the season, the leaves turn a stunning golden shade.
