Notes
'Firefly' leopard plant (Farfugium japonicum 'Firefly') is a perennial for borders, 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. It grows as a clumping plant and blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it a shady spot with steady moisture.
