Little Henry Sweet Coneflower
Rudbeckia subtomentosa 'Little Henry'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: This perennial offers bundles of lively yellow flowers with rich brown centers. The rolled petals are slender and spaced out around the dark center creating tiny rays of sunshine. The flowers are long lasting, blooming from midsummer to early fall, and work well as cut flowers. This cultivar is a dwarf form of 'Henry Eilers', better suited to residential landscapes and less likely to flop over. The species is native to the Midwest and is also known as Sweet Black-eyed Susan.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
