    'Little Leo' is a big joy! 'Little Leo' is shorter than other Leopard Bane varieties. Its early spring blooms just scream happiness. I have been told to cut the spent blooms to prevent reseeding, but this plant spreads so slowly for me that I don't dare. Besides, I would love to have more 'Little Leo'. It detests dry soil. It will go dormant in mid-summer under those conditions. I find it does best in partial shade. I love the heart-shaped leaves, so I try to make sure to keep it watered so they don't disappear.
