Ligularia japonica (Japanese Ligularia)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 4-7 36" tall Origin: China, Japan, Korea

New crop available 10-2-2008 This has long been our favorite of the cold-loving ligularias, although we can barely grow it this far south. The giant glossy green leaves look like a cross between a finely cut hardy geranium and a giant acanthus. In early summer the 3' tall x 4' wide tropical-looking clumps are topped with 5' tall spikes of bright orange daisies. For cold climate gardeners who love the tropical look, Ligularia japonica is a must. L. japonica prefers a moist, rich garden soil. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
