Bongardia is a perennial herb notable for its large, deeply lobed leaves and striking clusters of yellow flowers. This plant thrives in rocky, calcareous soils, often found in mountainous regions. The umbrella-like leaf structure helps in retaining moisture, adapting well to dry, arid conditions. Its thick tuberous root supports survival through harsh climates by storing nutrients efficiently.
Propagation:
Bongardia is propagated via seeds, division, or cuttings, requiring careful management of light, temperature, and soil. Seeds may need stratification for better germination. Following seasonal planting guidelines is crucial, and propagation is moderately difficult due to dormancy and environmental sensitivity.
