The one with the Polish name! Rather differently shaped leaves than its cousin L. dentata (deeply cut, palmate, in a lighter shade of green) but still useful as a foliage plant. It flowers earlier (starting late June), on a much more upright stalk. This year I noticed the interesting baby flowerstalk. Digital photography sure makes me look more closely at my garden :-)

| In mid-August, the leaves start turning purple.

We're just trying this plant for the first time this year; it
hasn't found a permanent place in our gardens yet.

Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Maisie Sirois | Jul 12, 2005 | We have some of these Ligularia przewalskii newly planted in a mulch bed. Some of the leave edges are turning black.
Would like to know if you have run into that problem before and if so what was your cure. |
| jacque | Jul 21, 2006 | maisie these plants like most soil maybe thats your problem. Rob do you save seeds from this plant?
I have yet to collect a single viable seed from my ligularias. Probably because I grow just a single specimen of each of my species. I personally grew both of them from traded seed, so I know it can be done :-) |
| Grazyna Grace Piekosz | Apr 23, 2008 | Fantastic name and plant |
- Seed from '09 trade. Seed seemed flimsy, with only a few particles substantial enough to be viable. Baggy 70F (a few G, 8-18d)
