(syn: Ligularia tussilaginea 'Aureomaculata') I grew up knowing leopard plant as a house plant before finally discovering its amazing winter hardiness. The round, bold, shiny green, 8-10" wide leaves are spotted with yellow dots, as though it were a leopard skin; hence, the name. This consummate conversation piece grows well in sites that can be kept slightly moist, but well drained...poor drainage kills. That being said, it wilts when dry but is amazingly drought-tolerant. The 24" wide clumps are topped with numerous 30" stalks of spectacular yellow daisies in October and November. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
