Petasites japonicus (Fuki) (Sweet Coltsfoot)

Makes you feel like you are walking with the dinosaurs. Ginormous 2ft leaves add a lush look to a large garden. Not for the faint of heart… Fuki can spread rapidly and will need to be contained by bamboo rhizome fabric. Stalks and flowers are a popular spring edible in Japan, China and Korea. Happiest in a moist shady area. 3ft tall and spreading. Deciduous. Zones 4-9
