A very rustic and flowering plant, the leopard flower adds a wild touch to the garden. It has bluish-green, flat, fan-shaped leaves, very ornamental.

The inflorescence is composed of many yellow, orange or reddish flowers, spotted, like the feline that gives the plant its name.

 

Star of many landscapers, it is very versatile and adapts to the entire Brazilian territory. Its beauty is highlighted in massifs, but it can also be grown in borders and beds, as well as in pots. The flowering season extends throughout the year, but is most abundant in summer.

 

The leopard flower is not very demanding. We must grow it in full sun or partial shade, in fertile soils fertilized with organic matter. Watering should be weekly and fertilizing at least twice a year, for good flowering. Does not tolerate waterlogging. It is multiplied by division of the clumps and through seeds that germinate spontaneously close to the mother plant.
