Description

This Ligularia forms large clumps of shiny heart-shaped foliage that are very rounded.  In summer, it is topped by sturdy upright stems carrying long spikes with rounded tips, bearing ligulate flowers that are a lighter yellow than most other species.

A spectacular plant that we grow in the back of our large yellow border, alongside Inula magnifica and Solidago sempervirens.
