Flowering Months

Heart shaped foliage makes an attractive backdrop to the abundant golden-yellow flowers of this hardy perennial daisy. As the name suggests, Doronicum caucasicum 'Little Leo' is neat and compact compared to some of its lankier relations, making it perfect for the front of shaded borders. Leopard's Bane, as it is commonly known makes a pleasing cut flower, and proves to be a magnet for pollinating insects in the garden. Height and spread: 30cm (12").

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Premium perennials are large plug tray plants, roughly the same size as garden ready plants like a potted plant without a pot. They will need to be acclimatised to the garden, and once all chance of frost has cleared can be planted out directly into the garden.

How to Grow

Doronicum enjoys a moist, humus rich, well drained soil in partial or dappled shade. In wet soils Doronicum caucasicum may suffer from root rot, particularly during the cold, winter months. Improve wet soils prior to planting by adding plenty of grit and well rotted organic matter.

More Info

Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of Leopard’s Bane in autumn.

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3
