Tractor Seat 10"

The Tractor Seat Plant (Ligularia dentata), named for its large, glossy leaves that resemble the seat of an old tractor, is a striking foliage plant that adds bold texture to any garden. An interesting characteristic of this plant is its ability to produce bright yellow, daisy-like flowers on tall stems in the summer, creating a beautiful contrast against its dark green leaves.

In southern Louisiana, the Tractor Seat Plant typically grows to a height of 3 to 4 feet with a spread of 3 feet, forming a dense, rounded shape. It thrives in partial to full shade, making it ideal for shaded garden beds. This plant prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil and needs regular watering, especially during dry spells, as it is not drought-tolerant. Suitable for USDA zones 7-10, the Tractor Seat Plant can handle mild frost but should be protected from extended cold periods.
