The flowers appear on tall spikes and bloom from July to August. ‘Brit Marie’ has a plant height of 3-4’ and a spread of 36-48”. Ligularia should be planted in full shade in a well-drained area. It must have moist soil and should never be allowed to dry out.

They generally retain good color throughout the growing season! * Daisy-like flowers * Outstanding foliage * Clump forming habit
