Ligularia 'The Rocket'
Sometimes called Elephant Ears, this is a bold specimen perennial that needs a moist location. Plants form a clump of large, jagged-edged green leaves. Purplish black stems rise above in summer, bearing long spikes of bright yellow daisy flowers. Superb for the back of the border, or at the waterside. An unusual centrepiece for a tub or large container. Both the flowers and leaves are great for cutting. Slugs can be troublesome. Comes in a 6-inch nursery pot.
