A.D.R. is, by far, my favorite bulb company. Top quality products at a fair price and the best customer service out there.
Chris, I speak nothing but the truth. A.D.R. IS my favorite bulb company and I've never ever had even the smallest problem that A.D.R. hasn't taken care of to my complete satisfaction.

Ligularia 'The Rocket' is a moisture-loving perennial with tall spikes of bright lemon-yellow, daisy-like flowers held on contrasting black stems. Blooming in mid to late summer, the flowers rise above a dense mound of large, heart-shaped, deeply toothed green leaves, adding strong vertical interest to shaded gardens. Thriving in part shade to full shade, this award-winning plant prefers rich, consistently moist soil and is ideal for borders, pond edges, and woodland gardens.

Planting: Plant in spring or fall. Set crowns just below soil level and space 24 to 36 inches apart.
Location: Partial shade is ideal. Morning sun is fine, but protect from hot afternoon exposure to prevent wilting.
Soil: Moist, rich, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Thrives in boggy or consistently damp areas.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist. In dry spells or full sun, leaves may wilt—regular watering is essential.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 4–8. Cold-tolerant and long-lived once established.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas that encourage floppy growth.
Pruning: Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage tidiness. Remove yellowing leaves as needed. Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3 to 5 years in spring to rejuvenate and multiply.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free, though slugs and snails may nibble on the large leaves.
