LEOPARD PLANT

The leopard plant, also known as the tractor seat plant or green leopard plant, is an herbaceous perennial known for its large, rounded leathery green leaves and its clusters of tiny golden yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom on tall stalks. This tropical plant grows best in warm, moist soils and prefers a shady spot.

This plant gets its name from the bright yellow speckles that appear on its foliage, similar to spots on a leopard. The large round, leathery leaves add wonderful texture and color variation in the garden.
