Product Overview
Foliage is as enticing as the flowers – saw-toothed, arrowhead-shaped foliage. Missiles of 3’ yellow flower spikes shoot skyward on dark stems. This container-friendly, dwarf variety loves shaded, moist locations. A bold statement!
Ligularia Little Rocket is a heavy-flowering shorter hybrid from breeder Marco Fransen. A natural for along a pond or stream, but they do require good drainage.
