Description
Rudbeckia subtomentosa 'Little Henry'
Height x Spread: 80cm x 50cm
Branching stems bear masses of mid-sized, daisy-like flowers from late summer into autumn. Commonly known as Sweet Cornflower, R. subtomentosa has distinctive quilled, yellow petals surrounding a central pale brown cone.
'Little Henry' was selected from the species of this American native, as its name implies it has a more compact growth habit. It will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions, happy in either sun or partial shade in moist or free-draining soil. A great choice for wildlife gardens, attracting bees and butterflies.
