    It’s all about the FOLIAGE on this clumping perennial that creates a mound 18-24” of beautiful deeply cut, dark green leaves with a decidedly exotic/tropicalissimo style! This baby enjoys consistent moisture, nice garden soil and part shade to shade. Taller spikes of smallish yellow flowers in mid to late summer. USDA Z4-9

    A garden size version of this gorgeous foliage plant with "dragon fire" shaped leaves. The plant has a "darkly elegant" look with its deep green cut leaves and clumping habit. Golden yellow flowers appear on purple black stems above the foliage in summer. Stunning in a group or as an accent in a container. Looks exotic and tropical; yet is undemanding. Thrives in a moist location.

    A small garden-sized version of this gorgeous foliage plant with "dragon fire" leaves. Northern California plantsman, Lichen, describes this gem as having a "darkly elegant" look. Showy black stemmed scepters of fringed yellow blooms are in perfect scale to the plant. Captivating in a group or as a small accent in a container. Looks exotic and tropical; yet is undemanding. Thrives in a moist location.
