''Ligularia dentata'' (summer ragwort or leopardplant) is a species of flowering plant in the genus ''Ligularia'' and the family Asteraceae, native to China and Japan. ==Description== It is a robust herbaceous perennial growing to tall by wide. The dark green leaves are large, long-stalked, leathery, cordate-based, and very rounded, with serrated edges (hence the Latin ''dentata'' meaning "toothed") . Orange-yellow daisy-like composite flowers bloom on thick red, mostly leafless stalks, rising above the foliage in early summer. == Cultivation == ''Ligularia dentata'' is grown as an ornamental plant, chosen as much for its bold foliage as its flowers.〔(MBG ) . accessed 11.30.2011〕 It is used as a round-leaved accent plant or massed planting in moist sun and partial shade garden settings, and in containers. Cultivars include 'Desdemona' and 'Othello'. Selections with cream color spotted foliage (''polka dots'') are also grown. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ligularia dentata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
