Ligularia 'Little Rocket' PBR is a compact, clump-forming perennial that brings dramatic flair to shaded garden spaces. This dwarf version of the popular 'The Rocket' variety features striking heart-shaped green leaves with jagged edges and produces vibrant yellow flower spikes on deep purple stems. Standing at a manageable 40 inches tall, it's perfect for adding vertical interest and bold texture to partially shaded landscapes.
A Compact Powerhouse for Shade Gardens
'Little Rocket' delivers impressive garden performance while maintaining a more contained habit than larger Ligularia varieties:
- Reaches just 2-3 feet in height and spread, making it suitable for smaller garden spaces
- Features large, serrated, heart-shaped foliage that creates a lush backdrop all season
- Produces striking yellow flower spikes on contrasting dark purple stems in mid to late summer
- Thrives in moist, shaded locations where many other perennials struggle
- Attracts butterflies while remaining deer resistant
- Creates bold textural contrast against finer-leaved shade plants
This compact perennial offers the dramatic impact of larger Ligularia varieties in a more manageable size that won't overwhelm your landscape design.
Planting and Growing Information
'Little Rocket' performs best in partial sun to full shade locations with consistently moist, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 24-30 inches apart to allow for mature spread. This hardy perennial thrives in USDA zones 4-8, making it suitable for most temperate regions.
