Moving Sparklers

Since planting my Leopard Plant (Ligularia tussilaginea 'Aureo-maculata') a couple of years ago, it has diminished each spring.  So I finally decided to dig it up and eventually find it a new location.

In its place, I moved my three Sparkler Sedges (Carex phyllocephala 'Sparkler') which have been doing alright, but certainly not flourishing.  Hopefully, they'll be happier in the new spot.

New Plant in the Garden

Between digging and moving and trimming and more, I found time to plant my newly acquired Leopard Plant (Ligularia tussilaginea 'Aureo-maculata').

Over the years, I've unsuccessful tried several plants in this shady location between two waterfalls, and this is my next attempt.  I hope it does well because I like the splash of yellow spotted leaves.
