Leopard Plant

About this plant

Known for its striking spires of golden-yellow flowers and large, deeply lobed leaves, Ligularia stenocephala 'The Rocket' is a showstopper. This upright perennial creates a dramatic focal point in moist, shady garden beds. Its unique flower spikes rise majestically above the foliage, resembling golden rockets taking flight. The large, serrated leaves provide a lush, tropical feel, even in cooler climates. Ideal for planting near water features, in woodland gardens, or as a vibrant backdrop, 'The Rocket' thrives in conditions where many other perennials struggle.

Care & maintenance

Maintain consistently moist soil; never allow it to dry out completely. Mulching helps retain soil moisture. Deadhead spent flower stalks for a tidier appearance, though it's not strictly necessary. Protect from strong winds which can damage the large leaves.
