{"product_id":"great-coneflower-100-seeds","title":"Great Coneflower – 100 Seeds","description":"Rudbeckia maxima or Great Coneflower, is a herbaceous perennial in the daisy family that is easily grown in average, moist, well-drained soils in full sun. It is an easy-going plant that tolerates light shade, heat, some drought, nighttime visits from deer, and a wide range of soils. It can be grown from seed, but in ideal growing conditions, it will self-seed. It also propagates itself through rhizomes. Plant it in along a border, in a cutting, pollinator, or cottage garden or in a meadow or naturalized area. The flower stalks rise to 7 feet bearing intense yellow-rayed flowers. Each flower is about 3 inches with drooping rays and a 2 to 6 inch dark brown central cone. After the blooms go to seed, it will attract songbirds including goldfinches. This is just an impressive bloom that is sure to get attention.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e•Heirloom\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e•Non-GMO\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e•US Native Wildflower\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e•American grown seeds\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e•Perennial\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e•USDA Zones: 3-9\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlanting Instructions:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDirect sow these seeds in late fall pressing into the surface of the soil since the plant needs light to germinate.
