FARFUGIUM japonicum aureomaculatum
leopard plant
A striking perennial to brighten shady places, it forms a 50 cm mound of round green leaves covered in golden yellow spots.
Often referred to as Ligularia, this evergreen species and its relatives are native to temperate Asia. Ideal for moist shady spots with free draining soil, it is fully frost hardy. The golden yellow leaf spots add welcome highlights to shaded areas. If exposed to strong direct sun light the spots will discolor. In late summer and autumn clusters of yellow daisy flowers are produced on stems up to 1 m tall
