Ligularia 'Big Green Tractor' #1

Common Name: Goldenray

Formerly known as L. 'Tractor Seat'

This Ligularia japonica hybrid is a very large plant perfect for making a dramatic statement in the shade garden. Deep green leaves are massive reaching 16" across at maturity. A serrated margin surrounds each dissected leaf for a standout foliage presence. Golden yellow flowers have long petals. Best performance in morning sun or filtered shade; flowering will be diminished in deep shade. Grows 3-5' tall with a spread of 4-5'. Hardy to Zone 4.

A friend gave us a start of Ligularia japonica around 1990, and it has been showing off in our hosta ravine ever since then. Customers have often asked about it, so we are happy to have a source for a japonica type to offer now.
