Notes
'Aureomaculatum' leopard plant (Farfugium japonicum 'Aureomaculatum') is a perennial for borders, containers, shade gardens, and woodland settings. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to wet soil of most types. It forms a clumping, evergreen mound up to 24 inches tall. It needs little care once settled in. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Lenten rose, Frosted Curls sedge, and James Roof silk tassel bush.
