(syn: Ligularia tussilaginea 'Jitsuko's Star') Farfugium japonicum 'Yaezaki' is a selection of the green leopard plant that makes a fabulous, bold-textured perennial for the light shade garden, where it contrasts beautifully with ferns and other fine-textured plants. Starting in mid-October, the 15" tall x 20" wide clump of 6" round, tropical-looking green foliage is topped with 3' tall flower spikes of magnificent, double (Yaezaki means "double flower") yellow, daisy-like flowers...the earliest of the farfugium selections to flower for us.
