Giant Coneflower #1

Description:

This large variety produces semi-double yellow daisies with tall dark brown center cones in summer, high over cabbage-like, blue-green foliage; an outstanding cut flower; drought tolerant once established; wonderful along borders or in containers

Ornamental Features

Giant Coneflower has masses of beautiful semi-double yellow daisy flowers with dark brown eyes at the ends of the stems from early to mid summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its attractive large oval leaves remain bluish-green in color throughout the season.

Landscape Attributes

Giant Coneflower is an herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other garden plants with finer foliage.

This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. It is a good choice for attracting birds, bees and butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Giant Coneflower is recommended for the following landscape applications;

• Mass Planting
• General Garden Use
• Naturalizing And Woodland Gardens
• Container Planting
