Product description
Ligularia The Rocket is a striking perennial with tall, upright spires of deep yellow flowers held on black stems above large, heart shaped, toothed leaves. The bold foliage forms a substantial clump at the base, while the flower spikes shoot upwards in mid-summer, adding height, drama, and strong vertical interest to borders and planting schemes. It’s the kind of plant that instantly draws the eye and gives a more architectural feel to mixed beds.
This Leopard Plant variety is best grown in moisture retentive soil in full sun or partial shade, where the roots won’t dry out. It appreciates consistently damp conditions, so it’s ideal near ponds, streams, or in richer borders that are regularly watered. Mulch in spring to help conserve moisture, and water well during hot spells to prevent the foliage from wilting. Whether planted directly into the ground or used as a statement plant in a large container, it’s a superb option for adding texture, height, and long-lasting interest to any sunny garden space.

The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
Garden Plant Size Guide

Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
