Its deep green leaves grow up to 16 inches across at maturity, each deeply cut and edged with serrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant reaches about 3½ feet tall and 4½ feet wide. Golden yellow flowers with long petals appear in midsummer, best with morning sun or filtered shade, as deep shade reduces flowering. Use it as a bold specimen by a pond, in a rain garden or in a damp woodland bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMassive, rounded, deep green leaves up to 16 inches across, deeply dissected with serrated edges and a slightly glossy surface, held on long stems. The leaves form a very large, broad mound. In midsummer, tall branching stems carry golden yellow daisy-like flowers with long, narrow petals above the foliage. The plant is about 42 inches tall and 54 inches wide. At peak yellow flowers rise over a sea of huge, jagged green leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLigularia needs shade and constantly moist soil, the opposite of lavender's dry, sunny bed, so plant it by a pond, in a rain garden or in a damp, shady spot with hostas and ferns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in part shade, ideally morning sun with afternoon shade, in rich soil that stays consistently moist; the leaves wilt quickly in hot afternoon sun or dry soil.
