(Ligularia fischeri HC970089) Ligularia fischeri is a splendid, heat-tolerant species I first met on our 1997 Korean botanizing expedition on the botanically rich Mt. Sorak. We are pleased to share Dan Hinkley's collection from that trip. For us, this deciduous edimental resprouts in early spring with large, heart-shaped green leaves, forming a bold-textured 2' tall x 3' wide clump. The clumps are topped in late summer with 2.5' slender spikes of yellow flowers. In the garden, average to moist soils are best. In Korea, it is eaten fresh, cooked, or used to make kimchi.
