Farfugium japonicum is a clump-forming perennial that is grown in gardens as much for its attractive foliage as for its autumn flowers. It is native to moist meadows and stream banks in Japan and eastern Asia. Daisy-like, yellow flowers bloom in loose corymbs atop thick, mostly leafless stalks that rise above the foliage in late summer to fall.
