With some morning sun the color deepens; in more shade the leaves turn deep green with a purple cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn late summer, golden orange daisy-like flowers perch on purplish-black stems, a striking contrast with the dark foliage. The plant grows 3 to 4 feet tall in bloom and 2 to 3 feet wide. Use it as a specimen in a moist shade garden, by a pond, or in a large container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroad, rounded to kidney-shaped leaves up to about a foot across with toothed edges, glossy dark chocolate-purple on top and bright purple underneath. Leaves form a bold, mounded clump. In late summer, branching purplish-black stems carry loose clusters of golden orange, daisy-like flowers with dark centers above the foliage. The plant is about 36 to 48 inches tall in flower and 24 to 36 inches wide. At peak orange daisies float over a mound of shiny dark 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. Hardy in zones 4-9. Water deeply in summer, watch for slugs on young leaves, and cut spent flower stems after bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ligularia dentata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy chocolate-purple with bright purple undersides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold, mounded clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 in–4 ft tall × 24–36 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
