Description

Commonly called cabbage leaf coneflower, Rudbeckia maxima is an eye-catching perennial native to warm, moist pine woods and plains from Arkansas to Louisiana and into Texas. However, its range of acceptable climates extends farther north. R. maxima is an herbaceous perennial in USDA hardiness zones 6 to 8; plants go dormant in late fall and the foliage disappears until spring. But being a native of warmer southern regions, this Rudbeckia thrives in hot, humid summer.
