Ligularia Othello

Description

Ligularia ‘Othello’ is a stunning perennial that stands out in shaded gardens with its unique combination of dark, almost black foliage and striking yellow flower spikes. The large, heart-shaped leaves emerge in shades of deep purple and bronze, providing an elegant backdrop for the plant’s bright yellow, daisy-like blooms. The flowers, which appear in late summer, create a cheerful contrast to the dark foliage, adding both color and texture to the garden.

Preferring consistently moist, rich soil and partial to full shade, Ligularia ‘Othello’ is perfect for woodland gardens, pond edges, or other shaded areas where moisture is abundant. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, it is relatively low-maintenance and requires little beyond regular watering. Whether used as a focal point, in mass plantings, or as part of a mixed border, Ligularia ‘Othello’ provides dramatic color and visual interest throughout the growing season.
