I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Ligularia stenocephala 'The Rocket' (Ships in Spring)

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.
