Our Experience
We have grown Great Coneflower in our habitat for many years as part of our Very Tall Plants section. The height of the stalks vary a little each year depending on growing conditions. The foliage is a frosty sage green making it an easy plant to identify in the early spring. It pairs nicely with other tall plants in our habitat.
