Noteworthy Characteristics
Tall coneflower is a Missouri native perennial which occurs in moist soils in rich woodlands, thickets or along streams, sloughs or other bodies of water. Well-named since it may grow to 9′ tall in the wild, but typically grows 3-4′ tall in cultivation. Features daisy-like flowers (to 3.5″ across) with reflexed (drooping), yellow rays and dome-like, green center disks. Pinnate, deeply-lobed (3-5 parted), light green leaves. Long mid to late summer bloom period.

Problems
No serious insect or disease problems. Taller plants may need support.

Garden Uses
Borders, meadows, cottage gardens, native plant gardens or naturalized areas.
