Ligularia Aureo-maculata

Ligularia Aureo-maculata Details

Ligularia Aureo-maculata, commonly known as the Leopard Plant, is an interesting and colourful herbaceous perennial. It produces glossy, dark green leaves with bold, yellow spots placed randomly across the leaf. Tall stems bearing yellow flowers rise above the foliage in summer. It grows as a mound to about 40 cm tall and 50 cm wide. Best results with the plant are achieved when it is planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It will tolerate light frost once established but the soil cannot be allowed to dry out. Ligularia Aureo-maculata is often used for border and mixed plantings, planted beside a water feature, maintained in a container, included in a tropical garden, or mass planted for an amazing display.
