Ligularia The Rocket (Leopard Plant)

Bright and beautiful, award-winning Ligularia 'The Rocket' (Leopard Plant) is a striking, clump-forming perennial noted for its spectacular flower spikes and foliage. The strongly toothed, heart-shaped, mostly basal, light green leaves, up to 1 ft. long (30 cm), give the plant a mounded habit and provide great ornamental value. In mid to late summer, the plant sends up tall racemes densely packed with small, bright lemon-yellow, daisy-like flowers held on contrasting black stems. 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.
