It is a robust herbaceous perennial growing to 1–1.5 m (3–5 ft) tall by 1 m (3 ft) wide. The dark green leaves are large, long-stalked, leathery, cordate-based, and very rounded, with serrated edges (hence the Latin dentata meaning "toothed"). Orange-yellow daisy-like composite flowers bloom on thick red, mostly leafless stalks, rising above the foliage in early summer.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
During summers, deeply water the plants so that they can acclimate to external temperature. During winters, apply water every week so that their foliage remains diluted. During the initial growth stage, the standard volume of water establishes an intense, widespread root system.
Pruning
Prune the Ligularia to the base so that lifeless and dented foliage get cut off (these dead leaves can be used as mulch). Cutting off timeworn flower heads urges more buds and flowers. Pruning is important for the maintenance of plants.
Sunlight
Foliage will wilt in too much sun.
