Farfugium japonicum Kinbotan Colored Foliage Primula x polyantha (Primula veris(aka: Ligularia tussilaginea) 2022 marks our first offering of the rarely offered Japanese Farfugium japonicum 'Kinbotan'. This speckled leaf leopard plant forms a 20" tall x 2' wide clump that's similar to Farfugium 'Kagami Jishi', but with smaller yellow spotted leaves, which also have more sharply angular leaf ruffling. The evergreen clumps are topped with stalks of yellow daisies starting for us in late October.
