Ligularia dentata 'Dark Beauty' - 2026

Ligularia dentata 'Dark Beauty' is a striking perennial with large, deep green to almost purple-tinged leaves that form an architectural clump in shaded or partially shaded garden areas. Its tall spikes of bright yellow-orange flowers rise above the foliage, providing vertical interest and vibrant summer colour. The blooms attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing the ecological value of woodland and moisture-retentive borders.

This hardy perennial thrives in partial shade to full shade and prefers moist, fertile soils. Flowering from mid to late summer, 'Dark Beauty' is valued for its low-maintenance growth, bold foliage, and long-lasting flower spikes. Its combination of dramatic leaves, vibrant blooms, and wildlife-friendly qualities ensures it adds both visual appeal and practical benefits to shaded garden spaces.
