Cultivation.
Ligularias should be grown in fertile, deep, moist soil in dappled shade but with some protection from strong winds that may damage the inflorescences.
They can form a magnificent display in a mixed border and can look imposing as waterside plants where the inflorescences are reflected into the water.
They are relatively untroubled by pests and diseases but like many herbaceous perennials the young, tender, emerging leaves can be damaged by slugs and snails in the spring.
Propagation.
Named plants should be divided in spring or directly after flowering. Seeds can also be sown in spring and autumn and may produce some interesting hybrids.
Leopard plant, golden ray. Bot.syn.: Senecio przewalskii.
