An Introduction to the Leopard Plant

Leopard plant is a rather generic name for some common plants and hence can refer to many things: Diplocarpon rosae, commonly known as Rosy leaf, genus Cynara, to the genus Cucurbita Maxima, from the family of cucurbitaceae, which includes cucumbers, melons, onions and lemons. Fungal disease of the cork toads (Rufa) may also produce a white flocked appearance of the cork toad, so it is not uncommon for the name “leopard tree” to be applied to the entire genus or family in question. It is one of the most popular ornamental herbs in the world. A few varieties of leopard tree are quite rare, like the Alaska White Leaved Tail Grass and the Carolina Bluebell. Some trees, like the Alaska White Leaved Tail Grass, are only found in very remote areas of Alaska.

In general, leopard plant has a life expectancy of up to ten years; however, it is tolerant of relatively low light levels, which makes them suitable for most gardens. Their hardiness zone depends on the variety of species of the plant. They grow best in soil conditions with an acid-alkali balance, and they do well in the shade. In terms of pest control, some varieties are less susceptible to herbicide applications than others, so it is advisable to read the label of any herbicide you intend to use on the leaves. In general, herbicides with lower concentrations are more toxic to leopard plants.

The majority of leopard plants belong to the Scalifolia or Sagittaria families. Others are members of the genus Paspalum. In addition, members of the genus Lemure are not lignithogenic, which means that they cannot grow on its own. In fact, most species are climbers and attach themselves to fences or other structures to attain a higher altitude.
