Farfugiums are clump forming perennials grown in shade gardens for their bold ornamental leaves. Thick green leaves have irregular yellow spots in this selection. Leaves are evergreen until temperatures reach the low 20's. Yellow daisy flowers appear in summer. Best in fertile soil and moderate shade, with regular watering.
