Ligularia przewalskii
Also called Przewalski's Leopard Plant, Przewalskii's Leopard Plant
A tall perennial from damp places in Mongolia and northern China, grown for its large deeply cut leaves and spikes of bright yellow flowers in summer. The key to growing it is consistently moist soil and a cool, partly shaded spot.
Ligularia przewalskii, also called Przewalski's leopardplant and Przewalski's golden ray, is a species of perennial herbaceous plant in the genus Ligularia and the family Asteraceae, native to damp places in Mongolia and Northern China. Named after the Russian explorer Nikolai Przhevalsky, it used to be called Senecio przewalskii Maxim.
Growing to a height of 1.5–2 m (4.9–6.6 ft), Przewalski's ligularia is a popular ornamental plant cultivated for its large, deeply cut foliage and tall spike-like inflorescences with bright yellow composite flowers. It blooms in summer, from July to August.
Plants grow best under cool, moist conditions, and resent hot sunny locations where they wilt extensively. They are propagated from seed or by cutting up the crowns.
The cultivar 'The Rocket' is a recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
