There are two plants in the garden. The dark yellow flower is above the vegetation, and opens later in the summer. Slugs and snails operate on the leaves, so this year I have placed bait around the plants. The plant is rather imposing, particularly the large green leaves, and the plant enjoys plenty of moisture with partial shade.

Usually there is some some snail and slug damage. I placed snail bail particles around the base of the plant and there is no insect damage.
