Highlights

  • Unique foliage: 'Bottle Rocket' has unusual, bottle-shaped leaves that add interest to the garden. The leaves are dark green with purple undersides, making for a striking contrast.
  • Late-season blooms: This plant produces bright yellow, daisy-like flowers on tall stems in late summer or early fall, when many other perennials are starting to fade.
  • Loves water: Ligularia stenocephala 'Bottle Rocket' thrives in moist to wet soil and can even be grown in a bog garden or near a pond. It's a great choice for gardeners looking to add interest to wetter areas of their yard.

Care Guide

  • Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant once or twice a week during the growing season
  • Maintenance: Pinch back the tips of the stems to encourage bushy growth and prevent legginess. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves and stems
  • Pruning: Prune back any overgrown or straggly branches to maintain a compact shape
  • (Optional):Fertilize using a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season
