Plant of the Day

Monday 30 September 2024

Included in a new herbaceous border outside Inverness Botanic Garden, Scotland, was the strong growing Ligularia dentata 'Desdemona’ (leopard plant). This plant needs a deep, fertile, reliably moist soil in full sun with protection from strong winds.

In the back both Ligularia ‘The Rocket’ and Lobelia ‘Starship Deep Rose’ are blooming. I didn’t notice the theme until I wrote that. haha So far hummingbirds don’t seem to care about this lobelia. Next year I’m going back to regular cardinal flowers. The old ones died out without leaving seedlings and I miss them.

Doesn’t Desdemona look lovely on this sunny, summer morning?
