Just had to share a pic of my Little Rocket Ligularia...it just keeps getting better and bigger every year now...probably about 5 foot tall...

What's Blooming Now...
Wow! Very nice - I'll have to investigate ligularias more & find one for my yard! I like yours alot! Samantha
Very pretty! I have 'Britt Marie Crawford' and I absolutely love the big almost black leaves,but I prefer the flowers on yours.

Another shot.I'm trying to show how large the plant gets.The light green hosta is a full grown medium size.
Edder,
I purchased Little Rocket from Home Depot a few weeks ago, it was on clearance. I saved the seeds. Do you think this plant is a hybrid? Or will the seeds be true.

I believe the seeds will be true, but that's really hard for me to fully say...I look at it this way, nothing ventured is nothing gained. And, hey, starting the journey is what makes it worth the while :-)
Couldn't agree with you more. I was checking out all the varieities of Ligularia. I think I might have to start a new plant collection.

Honestly....I don't remember anymore. I run a greenhouse/nursery/garden center business and got it from any number of sources, but which one...welllllllll, that's a guess in and of itself. But, if you look around you can find them.
I tried one many years ago and it didn't work out, but then I ended up with this one, stuck it there and it's done great. Gets better each year.
The Brit Marie Crawford next to it on the left is blooming now (Pic below, close up of the flowers...was taking a bunch of closeups today with the new digital. Got some really great ones.). I really like those things because they're different and unique.
