Ligularia dentata Pandora

Common Name:
Pandora Leopard Plant

Description:
Ligularia dentata Pandora is a compact, ornamental perennial prized for its striking dark purple foliage and bright golden-yellow daisy-like flowers. The glossy, rounded leaves emerge deep purple and retain their dramatic colour throughout the season, creating a bold contrast in shaded garden beds. In summer, tall stems rise above the foliage, producing clusters of vibrant yellow blooms that attract pollinators. Pandora thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers a shaded or partially shaded position, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, borders, or container planting. This variety offers long-lasting visual interest with its unique foliage and seasonal blooms.
