Ligularia Othello • Clump forming perennial with large toothed green leaves. • Yellow orange daisy like flowers 2-4” across. • Shade. • Moist soil.

Petasites Giganteum Giant Japanese Butterbur • Up to 5 feet high with 3-foot-wide leaves resembling rhubarb. • Sun to part shade. • Moist to wet soil but will grow in an average garden. • The flowers emerge before the leaves — think hyacinths but mutant ones with greenish blooms on naked stems. • A bold, textural plant, it needs lots of room for best foliage effect. • Place carefully: can spread quickly in moist locations and is difficult to control once it spreads. Can be grown in large pots or in less moist areas to restrict growth, or spreading can be controlled by sinking a heavy plastic or metal tub into the ground and placing the plant within.
