    Brand New from Japan and QUITE a show with amazing crested, leopard-spotted leaves on 2' stems topped with large yellow summer flowers. S-PSh/M (not dry)

    By: Forestfarm

    Yellow spots on crinkley-edged, gray-green leaves mark this tropical looking farfugium. The early summer flowers are yellow and daisy-like but these are mostly grown for the foliage. A small perennial, to only 20” tall in clumps. Moisture and lots of it! in sun to part shade. Frost hardy to 0 °F, USDA zone 7.
