Giant Coneflower

This selection is the most dramatic native Rudbeckia: its large blue-green leaves are as ornamental as any hosta, and the towering stems carry yellow flowers with exceptionally large, prominent dark cones.

• Strikingly large, glaucous blue-green leaves are ornamental from spring through fall
• Tall stems rise to 1.5–2 m, carrying yellow flowers with exceptionally large dark cones
• One of the most architectural and bold-textured native prairie plants
• Persistent seed cones attract finches and sparrows through fall and winter
