Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Do you dare to open this box?! Unlike traditional leopard plants, Ligularia dentata 'Pandora' will pleasantly surprise with its hardiness, dwarf form and bold, contrasting colours. Daisy-like flowers are mustard-yellow rising above bold, ruffled foliage that first emerges dark burgundy, slowly maturing to dark brown then to olive green by midsummer. The compact form slowly reaches 12 to 16 inches tall with a 20 inch spread. A strong accent in the shade garden offering bold foliage for gardens small and large. Attracts pollinators. Deer and rabbit resistant.
