| Botanical Name | Farfugium japonicum 'Giganteum' |
| Description | Known as the Giant Leopard Plant, this evergreen perennial is a favorite for Houston's moist shade gardens. It produces enormous, dinner-plate-sized leaves that provide a striking architectural element. While it loves the high humidity of Southeast Texas, it is sensitive to water stress. It performs best in rich, organic-heavy soil; however, in areas with poorly draining heavy clay, ensure it is planted on a slight mound or in a raised bed to avoid crown rot during wet spells. |
| Exposure | Part Shade to Full Shade (Avoid direct afternoon sun) |
| Height x Width | 2-3 ft. Tall x 2-3 ft. Wide |
| Water | High; requires consistently moist soil. Will wilt quickly if allowed to dry out. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Feed with a balanced, liquid or slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer. |
| Pruning | Remove yellowed or damaged leaves at the base to keep the plant looking tidy. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
