Ligularia dentata 'Little Golden Ray'

Ligularia dentata ‘Little Golden Ray’

A compact, shade-loving perennial that brings bold foliage and bright blooms to darker garden spaces. Toothed, heart-shaped leaves emerge deep green with a purple flush and rich maroon undersides, forming a dense, mounded habit. From midsummer to early autumn, branching reddish-purple stems carry cheerful, golden-yellow daisy-like flowers with darker centers, creating a vivid contrast against the dramatic foliage.

Its smaller size makes it especially useful for edging, containers, and smaller woodland plantings, while still delivering strong visual impact.

Ligularia thrives in consistently moist soil and partial shade, making it an excellent choice for areas that stay cool and damp.
