Ligularia dentata ‘BBQ Banana’


Ligularia

 USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.317.660


Sometimes called Elephant Ears, this is a bold specimen perennial that needs constant moisture for best performance. Plants form a clump of large, heart-shaped, chocolate coloured leaves. Taller stems appear in mid summer, bearing clusters of gold daisy-like flower clusters. Superb for the back of the border, or at the waterside. An unusual centerpiece for a tub or large container. Both the flowers and leaves are great for cutting. Clumps may be divided in the spring, every 3 to 4 years.
