Ligularia Britt Marie Crawford (Leopard Plant)

Award-winning Ligularia 'Britt Marie Crawford' (Leopard Plant) is a robust herbaceous perennial noted for its large, rounded, dark chocolate leaves adorned with beetroot-red undersides. The leathery foliage retains good color throughout the growing season. In midsummer to early fall, the plant sends up purplish-black stems topped by large clusters of brilliant orange-yellow daisies, 3 in. across (7 cm). This Leopard Plant is useful to make a bold statement along streams and ponds, around pools or in bog gardens.
