’The Rocket’ (L. stenocephala)

Ligularia (leopard plant) is a genus of Old World herbaceous perennial plants in the groundsel tribe within the sunflower family.[3] They have yellow or orange composite flower heads with brown or yellow central disc florets, and are native to damp habitats mostly in central and eastern Asia, with a few species from Europe.[4] There are about 120[5] to 140 species in the genus, and over half are endemic to China.[6] The name Ligularia, from the Latin for "strap", refers to the shape of the ray florets.[7]

Some species and cultivars are cultivated as ornamentals. Ligularia dentata ‘Britt Marie Crawford’[8] Ligularia x hessei (Ligularia dentata x Ligularia wilsoniana) 'Gregynog Gold'[9] and Ligularia przewalskii 'The Rocket'[10] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[11] They are best grown in fertile, moist soil and full sun, with some shade at midday.[citation needed]
