Ligularia Dentata 'Desdemona'

Design with this plant

Overview

The Ligularia dentata 'Desdemona', or Desdemona Leopard Plant, features large, heart-shaped maroon-tinged leaves beneath towering golden-orange, daisy-like flowers. Preferring partial to full shade, it thrives in consistently moist soil. Reaching up to 3-4 feet tall with a similar spread, it's ideal for adding bold texture and vibrant color to woodland gardens or damp, shady borders. Hardy in zones 4-8, it's a low-maintenance perennial that attracts pollinators.
