Othello Ligularia
Ligularia dentata ‘Othello’
 
Striking and bold, Othello Ligularia brings dramatic foliage and bright blooms to the shaded corners of your garden. Known for its large, heart-shaped leaves with deep green tops and rich burgundy undersides, this moisture-loving perennial adds texture and colour contrast from spring through fall. In mid to late summer, tall stalks topped with daisy-like golden-orange flowers rise above the foliage, attracting bees and butterflies.
 
With a mounding habit—growing 30–36 inches tall and wide—Othello is perfect for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and the edges of ponds or streams. Its bold foliage also makes a fantastic backdrop for hostas, ferns, and astilbes.
 
Well-suited for Canadian climates, Othello Ligularia thrives in part shade to full shade and prefers consistently moist, rich soil. It’s deer-resistant and relatively low maintenance, provided it receives enough water—especially during hot summer spells.
 
Add bold texture and late-season colour to your shaded garden with Othello Ligularia—a dramatic foliage plant that thrives in Canada’s cooler, moisture-rich landscapes.
