Little Rocket Ligularia is a dwarf Ligularia with tall, narrow spikes of star-shaped, golden yellow flowers on strong, deep purple / brown stems, and bold, deeply-lobed, serrated foliage. A sport of The Rocket Ligularia, it is a smaller, denser, more compact and balanced (ratio of foliage to flowers) form of its parent. Perfect for smaller gardens.
While Ligularia 'Little Rocket' will grow in sun, it will wilt in heat, so is best grown in a cool, partial shade location, or at least, shielded from afternoon sun. Little Rocket Ligularia plant enjoys moist to wet soil, so use by water features, in the boggy part of the garden, in woodlands, shade gardens, at the back of borders, as a foundation plant, or in a rain garden. Plant in containers or as a specimen, and cut flowers and foliage for arrangements. Attracts pollinators.
