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.
Growing conditions and care
It will grow in almost any garden soil but prefers heavy, fertile soils in full sun or light shade which is considered ideal. Hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
