Growing and Maintenance Tips
Ligularias need to be situated in a cool, moist location protected from hot afternoon sun. For 'King Kong' morning sun is recommended to develop good leaf colour. If the hot sun hits the plant it will wilt, although it will recover as soon as it cools down. Lots of organic material incorporated into the soil is also beneficial. They are excellent plants to grow along the edge of a shady pond or in a moist area of a woodland garden.
Bloomfest Garden Art Show
Mark your calendar for July 20-28. We will be open every day during that time. Our Bloomfest Garden Show is happening and our daylily field will be in full bloom. This year we will be displaying the work of 23 artists throughout the gardens and daylily field.
