Heart Leaved Oxeye
A vigorous, rapid spreading, thick sturdy stemmed, upright perennial, reaching a maximum size of 6.5 x 6 ( rarely over 5 ) feet, that is native from the European Alps into southern Russia.
It looks great massed in a large planting. Individual plants eventually spread to form a large clump.
The very large, attractive leaves, up to 24 x 10 inches in size, are mid-green.
The yellow, daisy-like flowers are borne in large clusters during summer.
Hardy zones 2 to 8 in full sun to partial shade on moist soil, preferring a site protected from strong winds which can damage the leaves. It is generally easy to grow and especially thrives along waters edge.
