Ligularia 'Bottle Rocket'

Ligularia ‘Bottle Rocket’

Add bold texture and vertical interest to part-shade gardens with Ligularia ‘Bottle Rocket’. Bright mustard-yellow flower spikes rise above chocolate-colored stems in summer, creating a strong contrast against the plant’s large, thick, serrated green leaves.

Growing 28–34 inches tall, this variety offers a more compact habit than many Ligularias while still delivering excellent presence in shaded borders, woodland gardens, and moist garden beds. Its dramatic foliage provides season-long texture, while the upright flower spikes bring a bright burst of color when in bloom.

Ligularia grows best in part shade with consistently moist soil, making it a great choice for areas that stay evenly watered.
