Ligularia 'Bottle Rocket' PPAF
Transforms itself in midsummer with brilliant yellow blooms!
Compact and ready to spread, this delightful Leopard Plant is fortunate enough to sport heart-shaped foliage plus 12-inch spikes of brilliant yellow in midsummer! A shade-loving groundcover that looks terrific from spring through fall, it's the solution to all those poorly-draining and damp garden spots where so few plants will grow!
Very compact compared to other varieties of Ligularia, Bottle Rocket reaches just 2 feet tall until midsummer, when giant foot-long bloomspikes arise to dazzle! Butterflies and hummingbirds find these blooms irresistible, and so will you -- they light up the shade magnificently!
Even when it's not blooming, Bottle Rocket is attractive, with serrated leaves and a neat, layered habit. It spreads 28 inches wide and is quite trouble-free. What a beautiful way to transform all those boggy spots around the garden! Highly recommended. Zones 4-7.
