Ligularia przewalskii (Leopard Plant)

Impressive, Ligularia przewalskii (Leopard Plant) is a vigorous, clump-forming perennial noted for its spectacular flower spikes and gorgeous foliage. The large deep green leaves, palmately cut into jagged lobes, are borne on erect black stems and form a basal foliage mound of great ornamental value. In mid to late summer, the plant sends up tall, narrow spikes of small, bright golden-yellow flowers. Superb for the back of the border, this Leopard Plant is useful to make a bold statement along streams and ponds, around pools or in bog gardens. It will truly brighten up a cool, moist, partly shaded spot in the garden for decades to come!
