Ligularia stenocephala - The Rocket
An imposing centerpiece in moist shade gardens, Ligularia stenocephala The Rocket forms a lush mound of large, serrated heart to triangular green leaves, each up to about 12in (30cm) long, creating fall-back appeal throughout the season. In mid-summer, thick purplishblack stems rise 45ft tall (120150cm), topped with dense racemes of bright lemonyellow, daisylike flowers that glow above the foliage in July and August. This Award of Garden Merit winner thrives in rich, consistently moist soil in part to full shadeideal for rain gardens, shaded borders, pondsides, or woodland plantings where moisture is steady. A standout focal point that demands minimal maintenance yet delivers maximum impact, it attracts pollinators and is generally deer-resistant.
