Jan --
Rudbeckia maxima has stiff, pale blue-green leaves that get a foot or more long, which create a large rosette 2' across. In my full sun
bed it stays a tidy clump rather than "running" like most other Rudbeckias. The flower stalk is 5-6' tall and spindly, the flowers are the
same color as the common brown-eyed susan and only slightly larger. I usually cut off the flower stalk when it first appears because it's
the leaves I really like. They add a great contrast combined with other "prairie" plants like Baptisia and poppy mallow.
