Description
The Ligularia wilsoniana is an impressive and majestic ornamental plant, with a giant-like appearance. Its spectacular medium green decorative foliage is dominated, from summer to autumn, by long stems of bright yellow flowers, grouped in pyramidal clusters. A robust perennial plant with a large development, loving coolness, shade and humidity, this Ligularia is a structuring and luxuriant plant, of the most beautiful effect in the shaded and humid areas of the garden!
This Ligularia is an Asteraceae native to central China. This variety is a vigorous herbaceous perennial plant forming a massive tuft, with broad basal leaves, from 60 to 80 cm (24 to 32in), more or less heart-shaped, and strongly toothed. Its deciduous medium green foliage, tough, textured and luxuriant, has very high decorative qualities. It measures up to 2 meters (7 feet) in height with a spread of about one meter. From July to September, tall slender stems rise above the foliage, carrying pyramidal clusters of bright yellow flowers, with a very wide corolla diameter of 7 to 8 cm (3in). The flowering of this Ligularia attracts many pollinating insects.
The etymology of the word Ligularia comes from the Latin ligula, meaning strap, alluding to the ligules or corollas composing the flowers.
Wilsoniana was attributed to it in honor of Ernest Henry Wilson (1876-1930), a famous English botanist who discovered many species of Asian origin during his numerous travels in Asia.
With great longevity, vigor and high cold resistance, this Ligularia The Rocket appreciates moist soils, even clayey ones, and partial shade, or even complete shade. Forming an imposing, dense and compact mass, measuring 80 cm (32in) to 1 m (3ft) in all directions, excluding flowering, its magnificent foliage will create a sensation in the garden, in shaded and humid areas. This magnificent ornamental plant will be particularly suitable for pond borders (pond, ditch, basin, stream). It can be planted as a solitary plant or in groups of 3 to 5 specimens, combining different varieties of Ligularia. It will also be ideally placed in flower beds or mixed borders, tolerating even a semi-sunny to sunny position, as long as the soil remains moist and fresh, a necessary condition for the development of its generous foliage. Slowly establishing itself, it takes two to three years for this Ligularia to reach its adult size. It will be the perfect companion for many shade and bank perennial plants such as the Campanula lactiflora, Hosta, Rodgersia, Kirengeshoma, Astilbe, Pigamon, Le Soleil Vivace, Siberian Veronica, Marsh Spurge, or Iris chrysographes. It will also work wonders when planted in a large container, while remaining very vigilant about the constant moisture of its substrate.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
