Brighten up the early spring garden with Doronicum 'Leonardo', also known as Leopard's Bane. This award-winning perennial is highly valued for being one of the earliest plants to bloom, producing a cheerful display of large, daisy-like, golden-yellow flowers that stand out beautifully against its heart-shaped, bright green foliage.

Unlike taller varieties, 'Leonardo' is a compact cultivar, making it ideal for the front of borders, rock gardens, or patio containers. These plants are supplied in established 1Ltr pots, ensuring they arrive with a strong root system ready for immediate garden impact. They are a fantastic source of early nectar for pollinating insects.

Key Features:

• Early Season Colour: One of the first perennials to bloom in spring, providing much-needed garden brightness.

• Compact Growth Habit: Reaches a height of approximately 25-30cm, perfect for smaller spaces and borders.

• Large Daisy-like Blooms: Masses of golden-yellow flowers with a sunny disposition.

• Established 1Ltr Pots: Superior to smaller plug plants, offering faster establishment and better resilience.

• Pollinator Friendly: Highly attractive to bees and butterflies early in the season.

Planting & Care Instructions:

• Position: Prefers full sun or partial shade. In very hot areas, afternoon shade is beneficial.

• Soil: Thrives in moist, well-drained soil. Do not allow the soil to dry out completely during the growing season.

• Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spring spells, to prolong the flowering period.

• Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming. The plant may go dormant in mid-summer; simply cut back the foliage to allow it to return strongly the following spring.

• Spacing: Plant 30cm apart for a full, carpet-like display.
