Ligularia dentata 'Britt-Marie Crawford' - 2013

Intrigued that you have it stood in water, when sellers say well drained, or were you just giving it a drink .

No, these are moisture lovers, growing in damp or wet places in the wild. I tend to move the pot under cold glass in the winter, but it stays in the pond, with only the bottom couple of inches in the water, during the growing season

nice contrasting colours in this plant good idea in pond ive stood a few of my plants in water i found colected on a cover when it rain they are loving being watered from roots upwards......

from jane.

I like the effect of the terracotta pots in the background. Are they actual pots or lengths of pipe?

Urbanite - they are lengths of clay drainage pipe I found when I was digging in the garden. It is actually a water fountain in the pond, but turned off when I took the photo

Brilliant I like that.
