    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

    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.
