Growing Lion’s Tail (Leonotis leonurus)
Create a focal point in the fall garden with the stately lion’s tail.
Lion’s tail is hardy in zones 9 to 11, flowers spring through late fall and may remain green in frost-free areas. They can be overwintered indoors in areas where they are not hardy.
The plants reseed although this species of Leonotis has not been found invasive in North America. Always check for invasive issues before adding any plants to your garden.
A bit more information: Grow lion’s tail in a sunny window indoors for winter. Water thoroughly when the top few inches of soil begin to dry. Prune as needed and move outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
