Giant Coneflower - Rudbeckia maxima
Giant Coneflower, Rudbeckia maxima, is a statuesque presence in the garden, with its large, pale yellow, drooping petals surrounding a prominent, elongated, greenish-gray central cone. Its large, blue-green, paddle-shaped leaves form a striking basal rosette, adding a bold textural element. Preparations from related Rudbeckia species were traditionally used for their potential immune-supporting qualities. In a garden or prairie setting, Giant Coneflower serves as a dramatic vertical focal point, adding height and a touch of architectural elegance. Its tall, sturdy stems make it ideal for back borders or naturalized plantings, and its unique flower structure attracts pollinators. It's a striking choice for those seeking a bold and distinctive plant.
