Ligularia reniformis 'Tractor Seat'

Ligularia 'Tractor Seat' is a bold and eye-catching perennial renowned for its large, glossy green leaves that resemble the shape of a tractor seat. Its lush, tropical-looking foliage creates a dramatic feature in shaded gardens, adding texture, structure, and year-round interest to the landscape.

During summer, tall stems emerge above the foliage carrying bright golden-yellow daisy-like flowers that provide a vibrant contrast against the deep green leaves. Its striking appearance makes it a popular choice for feature planting, woodland gardens, shaded borders, and around ponds or water features.

Growing to approximately 1m high and 1m wide, Tractor Seat thrives in moist, well-drained soil and performs best in part shade to full shade. Hardy and easy to grow, it is ideal for adding a lush, subtropical feel to sheltered garden spaces.
