Think this was a good year for Ligularia actually I was going to buy more as Chris mentioned he had some NICE ones but I am WAY over budget for gardening this year and my wife will beat with them if more plants arrive.

They are lovely plants, but don't expect them to bloom in the spring. They are fall bloomers -- August and September where I live in Minnesota. Phyllis
