Ligularia ’The Rocket' is a handsome perennial, bearing tall, black stems of bright yellow flowers over large, toothed foliage in summer. It’s a fantastic choice for a bog garden or pond edge, and can also be grown in a mixed herbaceous border, as long as the soil doesn’t dry out.
Grow Ligularia ’The Rocket' in moist soil in partial shade (avoid full sun). Don’t allow the soil to dry out. Lift and divide congested clumps in autumn.
