A garden size version of this gorgeous foliage plant with "dragon fire" shaped leaves. The plant has a "darkly elegant" look with its deep green cut leaves and clumping habit. Golden yellow flowers appear on purple black stems above the foliage in summer. Stunning in a group or as an accent in a container. Looks exotic and tropical; yet is undemanding. Thrives in a moist location.

A shady garden, dwarf version. Large, spikes of bright-yellow flowers float over large leaves.  For the bog garden or shady moist borders. This dwarf variety is also ideal for containers. Very effective alongside water.

This Ligularia has a small clumping habit, black stems highlight the yellow flower spikes with strongly cut/incised leaves.

Beginning in midsummer, a profusion of bright yellow flower spikes rocket above the foliage, creating quite a spectacle. It is stunning when planted en masse!
