Thanks Bernie. I really can't get enough of this bed. Even better now the lig is blooming.

Have to agree - this bed is looking great. Some great choices here.

The best fact is that most will come back year after year! :-)

This is a variety I like to have, mine has yellow daisy type blooms. Love the way this one blooms up the stalk.

I thought they all had these stalkes FC, that is good to know. There is one place, I'll have to go get a photo, that has a bed all along one wall, they are all six or seven feet tall. Its a real sight!

I have the variety Ligularia dentata 'Britt-Marie Crawford' . It looks great for me until the dog days of summer hit. I would post a pic of it but the drought and humidity have it looking alittle poorly at the moment. They aren't the happiest plant to have in the garden in our area but I just had to have one anyway...lol.

I don't blame you. :-) I get great results with our temps staying low at night and usually plenty of moisture. Dentata has lobed leaves doesn't it? Really nice shape.
