Description of the plant
Leopard’s bane is a slow growing perennial with cheerfully yellow daisy-like flowers. They came out in late spring on 10-20 cm long stems, one by one, and form a heavily blooming mound that keeps flowering for several weeks. Deciduous leaves are light to mid green, heart-shaped.
