flowers of Ligularia dentata "Othello"

I love this ome. Alas, it dudn't stand our winter but I would try again. Big and bright blooms.

oh yes...Gt...try it again. it's a lovely thing. I have seeds from mine, but found that they don't come true to type they are throwbacks. The leaf shape is the same but lacks the purple undersides and stems...perhaps a lot hardier because they come thro the winter. In fact it can be a little invasive.

I cut my ligs before they can spread around. Maybe I should stop now that I have all this space.
