Ligularia 'Dragon's Breath' New for 2009

Description

Taking the moisture-loving 'The Rocket' and adding finely-cut foliage, this elegant new Ligularia serves well as a textural and floral accent, lighting up the partially-shaded, moist garden. The upright spikes of rich golden flowers feature purplish-black stems, adding contrast and drama. Thrives in moist, organically-enriched soils, at the edge of ponds or in a container, wilting in afternoon sun in drier soils in the heat of summer.
