Favorite Flower Friday!
Rudbeckia maxima | Giant Black Eyed Susan | Cabbage Leaf Coneflower | Giant Coneflower - whatever you call her, she’s definitely a conversation starter!
Native wildflower to south central United States.
Super drought tolerant due to the massive taproot.
These beauties get up to 7’ tall, but grow & spread very slowly.
Bonus: gold finches LOVE the seeds!
Also, to clarify, I ‘rehomed’ the seeds. I mean, that place was going to cut them down anyway, right?
(I believe the statute of limitations has passed for seed napping.) 😉
What’s your favorite wildflower?!
