Common name golden groundsel, leopard plant Family asteraceae Life cycle perennial (Z3) Flowers orange-yellow (summer) Size 3' Light part-full shade Cultural notes moist soil I consider this primarily a foliage plant - its wonderful large heart-shaped, purple-tinged leaves create a bold accent in our shade garden. Some gardeners actually dislike the flowers and remove them, but I enjoy the bit of color they provide in our shady corner. Our original specimen expired after a good number of years, so I'm establishing some new ones from seed this year.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: shade garden, orchard nursery area, sale plot
