Ligularia
This moisture-loving member of the Asteraceae family is native to most of eastern Asia and named for its “tongue-shaped” leaves. Whether planted as a specimen or en masse in a semishaded border, on the forest’s edge or by water, Ligularia will dazzle onlookers with its lush foliage and showy flowers
Ligularia stenocephala ‘The Rocket’ (P-0101)
Each 11.50
While stenocephala refers to the “narrow-headed flower,” ‘The Rocket’ sums up the form of this easily cultivated moisture-loving Ligularia, as well as the charged energy it inspires. The large leaves are Kelly-green, heart-shaped and coarsely serrated along the margins. Strong shoots, which emerge in the spring, unfurl to create a verdant underlayer for the clear yellow racemes to blast through on their way to 5 ft. high altitudes. Projecting a prominent textural presence, it will sparkle at water’s edge, beneath woodland canopies or in damp shady borders alongside Rodgersia.
