Ligularia stenocephala 'The Rocket' (Ships in Spring)

Ragwort

Ligularia 'The Rocket' is a bold, moisture-loving perennial with tall, dramatic spikes of bright lemon-yellow, daisy-like flowers held on contrasting black stems. Blooming in mid to late summer, the flowers rise above a dense mound of large, heart-shaped, deeply toothed green leaves, adding strong vertical interest to shaded gardens. Thriving in part shade to full shade, this award-winning plant prefers rich, consistently moist soil and is ideal for borders, pond edges, and woodland gardens, where it creates a striking focal point.
