Comments:
This perennial produces a woody rootstock and erect stems that can reach about three feet tall. The foliage is hairy with five to seven palmately toothed leaflets that are about three inches long and one inch wide. Relatively easy to grow in a wide range of conditions provided there is some sunlight and a well drained soil.
