One of my favorite rudbeckias. Known as the great coneflower (not an echinacea) this plant also makes a large cone seed head and reflexed, yellow petals. Native to the southeastern US it is perfectly hardy in zone 4. The strong foliage is silvery-blue and in itself very ornamental. The flower sits atop a stalk that can rise to 8ft in mid to late-Summer. Likes full sun and well drained soil. Though some rudbeckias can be a bit aggressive, this clump forming species seems better contained and the birds seem to eat most of the seeds.
Sold in deep 4” pots. Well established.
