Inula magnifica frost tender from American prairies in damp

from American prairies in  damp meadows

followed by handsome mauve to pale lavender berries in quantity

40cm shade  or part shade flowers are a tracery of florets which are pretty enough

where they can be viewed closeup when blooming

One of those plants that the more you have

Inula magnifica frost tender from American prairies in dampMagnificent indeed. Magnificent Elecampane. A strong vertical accent for your garden. If you have room this, it is truly magnificent. Rough textured leaves are handsome. They ascend 2m high with stout stems in diminishing size to wide branching heads of flower, large, yellow daisies. Splendid, once again retentive or moist soils, but I find it very hardy and tolerant as it flowers well even on very little water. Flowering late summer into autumn.
