This has long been our favorite of the cold-loving ligularias, although we can barely grow it this far south. The giant glossy green, deer-resistant leaves look like a cross between a finely-cut hardy geranium and a giant acanthus. In early summer the 3' tall x 4' wide tropical-looking clumps are topped with 5' tall spikes of bright orange daisies. For cold climate gardeners who love the tropical look, Ligularia japonica is a must. L. japonica prefers a moist, rich garden soil. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
