Petasites japonicus 'Nishiki-buki'
25th March 2006
This is the flower - not really the interesting bit. A dwarf growing variegated Petasites. It hasn't been invasive for me, but I wouldn't release it from its pot.
I have seen it covering the ground in a semi-wild context but I don't want it wandering through the garden here at will. It always looks a bit ragged and stressed.
