    The foot-wide leathery leaves of this in-or-out-door perennial, randomly and brightly splashed with gold, are as showy as the lemon-yellow flowers on their 2' stalks. PSh/M-W

    By: Forestfarm

    Mounds of round, dark green, leathery leaves with creamy yellow spots serve as a base for stalks of daisy-like yellow flowers. Deciduous below Zone 9, it will return again in spring. Thrives in moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Grow along streams or ponds and in woodland gardens. Adds a tropical effect in shady borders and large containers. Cover with mulch in fall and remove in spring.

    This unusual foliage plant has glossy green leaves with yellow spots. Attractive yellow flower clusters rise above the foliage in summer. Forms a dense clump with upright arching foliage to one to two feet tall. Use beside pools or bogs. Excellent plant to use as a mass in front of a tall bed or in the back of a small bed. Use also as a specimen or in a large container with other plants.
