Ligularia reniformis Designer Verde

Common Name: Tractor Seat Plant

Description:
Ligularia reniformis, commonly known as the Tractor Seat Plant, is a bold and architectural perennial prized for its large, glossy, kidney-shaped leaves that resemble tractor seats. This striking foliage plant thrives in shaded, moist environments, making it ideal for adding lush greenery to tropical, woodland, or shaded garden spaces. During late summer and autumn, it produces tall stems topped with bright yellow, daisy-like flowers, attracting bees and other pollinators. Ligularia reniformis prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil and requires consistent moisture to thrive. It makes a stunning feature plant in shaded garden beds, around water features, or in large decorative pots.
