Giant Coneflower: A Native Perennial

This week our plant of the week is Rudbeckia maxima, also known as Great coneflower, Giant coneflower, or Cabbage-leaf coneflower.

This tall, native plant is perennial in our area and attracts butterflies, and other local pollinators. The fatty seeds inside the flower also provide vital energy for migrating birds. Great coneflower prefers full or partial sun, moist soil, and can grow in zones 4-9. It reaches 6 feet tall and spreads slowly from rhizomes in the soil. If you have any questions, let us know!
