The statuesque Green Headed Coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata) does well in wet soils that challenge so many other plants. The flowers with green centers are surrounded by bright yellow petals on tall stems. Perfect for planting along streambanks and pond edges, the 5 - 8 foot plants are best planted in full sun, but also tolerate light shade. Easy to grow from seed, Rudbeckia laciniata often blooms in the first year when grown in cultivation.
