Leopard's Bane

From LoveToKnow Garden

Leopards Bane (Doronicum) - Showy plants of the order Compositae, of which half a dozen species are in gardens, all of vigorous growth, flowering in spring, and thrive in any soil; they are therefore excellent for rough places, for naturalising, or for dry banks, where little else will thrive. All are readily increased by division of the roots. They range in height from 9 inches to 3 feet, and have large, bright yellow Daisy-like flowers. The best species are D. austriacum and caucasicum. Other kinds are D. Clusi, carpetanum, Columnae, Pardalianches, and plantagineum, all natives of Europe. D. plantagineum var. excelsum (syn., Harper Crewe) is by far the best.
