Farfugium Gigantea
Farfugium gigantea, commonly known as the Giant Leopard Plant or Tractor Seat Plant, is a bold herbaceous perennial prized for its dramatic foliage. Farfugium gigantea features massive, glossy, round dark green leaves that can reach up to 18 inches across, held upright on tall, sturdy stems, creating an eye-catching tropical effect in the landscape.
In late summer through fall, Giant Leopard Plant produces bright yellow, daisy-like flowers on tall stalks that rise above the foliage for added seasonal interest. Farfugium gigantea performs best in part shade with rich, moist, well-drained soil and appreciates consistent moisture. Once established, Farfugium gigantea is drought tolerant and makes an excellent statement plant for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and containers. Botanical name: Farfugium japonicum ‘Giganteum’
