Hi, I have Rudbeckia maxima giant cone flower for sale.
In July, a stand of Rudbeckia maxima backlit by the hot setting sun is in a class of its own. Growing up to 7' tall and 3' wide, this native perennial erupts from a mass of 18" glaucous blue-green basal rosettes with a flowering stem that is topped with bright lemon-yellow coneflowers with dark brown centers. Able to withstand hot, humid summers with ease, it is an architectural element in the garden when planted in mass.
Rudbeckia maxima prefers moist, fertile soils but will thrive in average garden conditions in full sun. While this plant likes wet feet, it is surprisingly drought resistant. Growing from Arkansas to Texas, with some populations found in South Carolina, it prefers moist open areas from roadside ditches to wet meadows. It spreads slowly by rhizomes and for best appearance, deadhead to prolong blooming season. In very rich soils, plants may require staking.
