Ligularia
at Digging Dog
Including Ligularia przewalskii and Ligularia stenocephala
Ligularia
This moisture-loving member of the Asteraceae family is native to most of eastern Asia and named for
its “tongue-shaped” leaves. Whether planted as a specimen or en masse in a semishaded border, on the forest’s edge or by water, Ligularia will dazzle onlookers with its lush foliage and showy flowers Ligularia przewalskii 
Stately yellow flower spikes on slender black stems tower above the handsome, palmately cut, dark green foliage of this elegant Chinese native. Impressive yet undemanding, try planting it with Aruncus ‘Zweiweltenkind’.
Blooms July–August. Size: 5'–6' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 5. Ligularia przewalskii (P-0155)
Each $6.50

Ligularia stenocephala ‘The Rocket’
While stenocephala refers to the “narrow-headed flower,” ‘The Rocket’ sums up even better the form of this Ligularia, as well as the charged energy it inspires. The large leaves are kelly-green, heart-shaped, and feature coarsely serrated margins. Strong shoots emerge in the spring, which unfurl to create an underlayer of verdant leaves for the clear yellow racemes to
blast through on their way to altitudes of 5 ft. Striking and easily grown, it will sparkle in a wooded setting with Rodgersia nearby, or at water’s edge.
Blooms July–August. Size: 5' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 5. Ligularia stenocephala The Rocket (P-0101)
Each $7.00
