Lush perennial with stunning large foliage also known as the "tractor seat" plant.

Cultural

Protect Ligularia from harsh sun and wind to maintain lush leaves. Tolerant of light frosts once established, may go winter-dormant in cold climates.
Soil:
Tolerates any well-drained soil.
Aspect:
Part shade to full shade.
Maintenance:
Remove old leaves and spent flowers as required to maintain tidy appearance. Will benefit from a yearly application of mulch. Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth. Susceptible to snail and slug predation, apply baits as required.
Water Requirements:
Keep moist in the warmer months, water sparingly in winter.
Seasonal Interest:
Late summer to autumn flowering.

Landscape Uses

Perfect for tropical or lush gardens, makes a bold statement when mass planted, works particularly well when planted under trees and larger shrubs. Plant with other favourites from our Urban Lush range such as Philodenron ‘Xanadu’ and Arthropodium ‘Matapouri Bay’.
