Ligularia dentata ‘Desdemona’
Ligularia ‘Desdemona’ is more demure and subtle than the darker cultivars with large mounds of green leaves with purple undersides.
Description:
Don’t forget about Ligularia ‘Desdemona’ when you go mad for her more burgundy-leaved co-cultivars. This more demure and subtle lady has large mounds of green leaves with rich purple undersides. As expected with species dentata she also sports bright clusters of yellow-orange daisy-like flowers in summer. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
