Przewalski's Leopard Plant (Ligularia przewalskii)
Przewalski’s Leopard Plant (Ligularia przewalskii) is a bold perennial shade flower admired for its tall, striking spires of bright yellow, star-shaped blooms. These vertical flower clusters rise above large, deeply lobed, serrated leaves that form a dramatic base of lush green foliage. Native to damp meadows, stream edges, and woodland areas of China and Mongolia, it thrives in consistently moist, shaded environments.
Sometimes simply called Przewalski’s ligularia, it adds strong architectural form to garden plantings while attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators during its summer flowering period. The plant is named after Russian explorer Nikolay Przhevalsky, honoring his botanical contributions. Its foliage remains an ornamental feature well beyond the blooming season, offering texture and depth in low-light landscapes. With its combination of showy flower spikes, bold leaves, and preference for cool, moist habitats, Przewalski’s Leopard Plant stands out as both a structural and seasonal highlight in shaded gardens.
Przewalski's Leopard Plant has a typical overall height between 4’-6’ (122-183 cm) and spread diameter of 5’-6’6” (152-198 cm).
