Rudbeckia nitida | Cutleaf Coneflower Benzakein Chai Astrantia Rubra is held inA beautiful giant for a large border in moist soil, or by the side of the pond. Very similar to Herbstsonne, and also known as Rudbeckia laciniata. Strong leafy branching stems which give a long display in early autumn, of large lemon yellow, up to 10 cm wide daisies. The broad petals curve downwards from the cone shaped centre, which look good even when the petals have fallen. Plant into full sun or dappled shade, and they'll grow up to 2 metres tall
