Ligularia ‘Sungold’


Ligularia

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.317.690


Sometimes called Elephant Ears, this is a bold specimen perennial that needs a moist location. Plants form a clump of large, rounded dark-green leaves. Branching heads of bright golden-yellow daisies are held on tall stems, well above the leaves. Superb for the back of the border, or at the waterside. An unusual centerpiece for a tub or large container. Both the flowers and leaves are great for cutting. Slugs can be troublesome. Clumps may be divided in the spring, every 3 to 4 years.
