Ligularia - Bottle Rocket - Emergence - April 2023
Another day, another post in the garden diary to note the spring foliage emergence. This time...it is one of the Ligularia that are planted in our backyard - in a shady spot mixed in amongst hostas. I don't seem to have posted about planting these, but I'm pretty sure that I planted three of them - from Roy Diblik's nursery in Wisconsin. They seem to struggle, so I'm not sure if they'll be back or not and if they'll thrive. At least one of them is going to give it a go this Spring - see below: My experience with these is that they're pretty sensitive to water, so I'll try to stay on them. And...maybe even give them another shot up front in the new bed.
