#ProPlantTips for Care
Ligularia are resilient herbaceous perennials and can grow into large-scale plants up to 4 feet tall when in bloom and 4 feet wide! These plants should be planted in part sun/partial shade in a well-drained area, but keep the soil moist to wet. It should never be allowed to dry out! Apply a 3-4 inch deep layer of arborist mulch to keep moisture in the soil better.
