Product Details

Product Details

The mass of triangular, coarsely toothed leaves of Ligularia 'The Rocket' form a broad canopy 3–4′ tall and as wide. It sets the stage for the erect cylindrical spikes of deep yellow flowers that appear from late July through August. A unique personality that will turn a damp spot into a design statement. Winner of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

The genus Ligularia is huge, and the best of the species are large, handsome plants of great charm that thrive in full sun when moisture is reliable or even constant and partial shade where it is not. They are excellent companions for large Hostas.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Latin Name Pronunciation: lig-yew-lair'ee-uh  

This is a noble plant for streamside, pond edge, or along a woodland margin. These large plants boast bold, handsome foliage and lend great charm to the landscape.

Light/Watering: Plant in partial shade in moist soil. They will sulk if allowed to dry out, especially June through August. Plants will grow in full sun in wet soil, but they wilt no matter how damp the soil is, recovering at day's end.

Fertilizer/Soil: Ligularia grows well in compost-enriched soil. They benefit from a generous layer of organic mulch applied in spring.

Pests and Diseases: No serious pests or diseases, but may need to control slugs and snails.

Companions: These are excellent companions for large-leaved Hostas.
