In our garden you find several species of Ligularia varieties. One of my favorite is: Ligularia dentata 'Britt Marie Crawford'. in spring the leaves are very dark red, almost black. The stems are also dark red. At the shady place, where this Ligularia is growing over here, the leaves are greenish red with a wonderful purple/red backside. New leaves are shiny and beautiful dark red colored. At this time the plants are still blooming with orange-yellow, daisy-like flowers............

This wonderful attractive South African Thistle is a great perennial with clumps of very prickly grey-green hairy leaves close to the ground. These rosettes produce spiny flower-stems with daisy-like mauve flowers with deep purple center which appear on short side branches. Flowering from June to the first frost. The thistles love a sunny dry place, are very hardy (over here) and reach a height of 80 cm. .........

This wonderful thistle from South Africa proved to be hardy since his first winter in our garden: 2018/2019 with minus 10 degrees and cold strong east wind.
It also survived the mild winter of 2019/2020 with over 500 mm of rain ..............(rain? how does that look like? :) )

Eryngium giganteum Miss Willmott's Ghost..............

These wonderful biennial plants are related to the thistles. In the second year the plants produce strong stems with lots of thistle like flowers with great cones, surrounded by spiky silvery/white bracts. It prefers a sunny well drained place. Growing up to 90 cm., overhere. Loved by all kind of insects. The plant is named after Miss Ellen Willmott, a great nineteenth-century gardenlady. She loved these plants, and she thought, that every garden should have them in their flowerbeds. So while visiting other gardens she scattered seeds around. I like her style 🙂 ...............
