The flower spikes cluster at the center of the clump like a bouquet, and there are more of them than on its parent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt grows about 28 to 34 inches tall in bloom and 2 to 2½ feet wide, and it stays upright in summer heat better than many ligularias. It blooms in midsummer and suits rain gardens, damp woodland beds and large containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge, rounded to triangular green leaves with serrated edges, thick and slightly glossy, forming a dense, mounded clump. In midsummer, several narrow, upright spikes of small mustard-yellow flowers rise on dark chocolate-brown stems from the center of the clump like a bouquet. The plant is about 28 to 34 inches tall in flower and 24 to 28 inches wide. At peak the yellow spikes glow above the bold green foliage.\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. Hardy in zones 4-9.
