What customers say
Customers highly value the Ligularia 'Britt-Marie Crawford' for its dramatic visual appeal, specifically its deep bronze purple foliage that offers excellent contrast in shade gardens. Reviewers consistently note the robust health and quality of the plants upon arrival. The cultivar is celebrated for its reliable late summer bloom of vibrant orange yellow flowers, establishing it as a true focal point perennial. The main reservation centers on value; while quality is high, some buyers feel the initial plant size does not fully justify the premium price. Successful growth also requires consistent moisture, which is a key cultural consideration. Overall, it is a spectacular, high performing perennial recommended for shade gardeners prepared to meet its specific needs.
