Sweet Coneflower is native throughout the Midwest and down to Texas. This distinctive selection is a narrow, upright compact grower with strong branching stems and attractive green foliage topped off with charming, brown-eyed daisies that have unusual narrow or quilled yellow petals, appearing midsummer. Reported to be similar to R. ‘Henry Eilers’ but one third shorter. Long-blooming. Flowers are attractive to butterflies and excellent for cutting
Rudbeckia subtomentosa is a vigorous but very manageable perennial that favors average to moist soils and full sun to part shade. It is quite tolerant of heat and humidity, but will not withstand long periods of drought. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
