Ligularia Desdemona

Desdemona Leopard Plan

Ligularia Desdemona is a large clump-forming perennial with brownish green, rounded leaves, maroon beneath and tall red stems of deep orange flowers with brown centres.

The leaves are shaped like hearts and are highly textured with veins and serrated edges. The foliage is often described as having a tropical look and can provide a dramatic contrast to other plants in a garden. Ligularia Desdemona flowers July to September, and grows to 1 m, with a similar spread.

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring
