LUSH FOLIAGE INSPIRED BY ASIAN WOODLANDS

ORDER PLANTS ORDER PLANTS

Farfugium plants, also known as leopard plants, are prized for their bold, rounded leaves and ability to thrive in shaded environments. Native to the moist woodlands of East Asia, these striking perennials bring year-round texture and vibrancy to garden beds, borders, and containers. Their glossy, deep green foliage creates a dramatic contrast in shaded landscapes, while some varieties feature unique variegation or spotted patterns.

Our Farfugium liners are cultivated for their resilience and adaptability, making them an excellent choice for gardens that need lush greenery in low-light areas. These shade-loving perennials thrive in consistently moist, well-draining soil and benefit from regular watering to maintain their lush appearance. In late summer to fall, Farfugium young plants produce clusters of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that add seasonal interest and attract pollinators.

Perfect for woodland gardens, water features, or container arrangements, Farfugium liners bring an elegant, sculptural quality to any landscape while requiring minimal maintenance.

Frequently asked questions about Farfugium young plants

Are Farfugium plants perennials?

Yes, Farfugium plants are herbaceous perennials known for their lush, rounded foliage and ability to thrive in shaded environments. They provide year-round greenery in mild climates and die back in colder regions, returning in spring.

How do you care for a Farfugium plant?

Caring for Farfugium young plants involves providing consistently moist, well-draining soil and partial to full shade. Regular watering is essential to maintain their large, glossy leaves, especially during dry periods. A layer of mulch helps retain moisture and protect the roots. Removing spent flowers and damaged leaves encourages healthy growth, while occasional fertilization enhances their lush appearance.

Do Farfugium plants like sun or shade?

Farfugium plants prefer partial to full shade, making them ideal for woodland gardens and shaded borders. While they can tolerate some morning sun, too much direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, so they thrive best in dappled or filtered light.

How do you propagate Farfugium plants?

The most effective way to propagate Farfugium liners is through division. In early spring or fall, mature clumps can be carefully divided at the root and replanted in moist, well-draining soil. This method ensures strong, healthy growth and allows for easy expansion in shaded landscapes.

How hardy are Farfugium plants?

Farfugium young plants are hardy in USDA zones 7 to 10. While they can tolerate mild frosts, prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures may cause their leaves to wither. In colder regions, providing winter protection or growing them in containers that can be moved indoors helps ensure their survival.
