Buddleia Prince Charming PP 28903 Kniphofia (aka: Ligularia tussilaginea 'Shishi Botan')

(aka: Ligularia tussilaginea 'Shishi Botan') We were amazed when we first saw this bizarre farfugium at plantsman Barry Yinger's garden

Crambe maritima requires virtually no maintenance in the garden

This splendid vigorous evergreen species makes a nice dense groundcover

We knew it looked different

though one could hardly ever have too much of it

Buddleia Prince Charming PP 28903 Kniphofia (aka: Ligularia tussilaginea 'Shishi Botan')Wow what a game changer! Buddleia 'Prince Charming' is an amazing butterfly bush from Walters Gardens plant breeder Hans Hansen, that forms a compact, 4. 5' tall butterfly magnet, whose long, upright spikes of raspberry red flowers top the clump, starting for us in mid May and continuing through fall. Our six year old plants have never produced a single seedling.
