Leopard's-bane groundsel
Senecio doronicum
Leopard's-bane groundsel thrives in partially shaded spots in the garden with consistently moist, well-drained soil. Plant it in a cool border or woodland edge, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage a tidy appearance. Mulch around the base in spring to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
