FARFUGIUM (LIGULARIA) TUSSILANGINEA AKA FARFUGIUM JAPONICUM GIGANTEUM

This is an interesting plant we propagate ourselves from seeds of existing plants. They form small clusters of shiny green leaf plants that don’t get over 18 inches. The new name (Farfugium giganteum) would lead one to think that the leaves are “huge’ but they are not. Average leaf width is about 8 inches. Flowers come in the fall are yellow, daisy-like and medium sized. This species enjoys water and will droop over with too little water. Then, when given water, they bounce right back. It’s a good “indicator plant” for how well you are watering the garden. They’ll take sun in many areas or part day sun. In full sun, give them plenty of water. These plants do sucker and are easy to propagate from divisions. This is a great “filler plant” to put in areas where you want something but don’t know what to use. We have other sizes on sale as well.
