Cephalaria gigantea

Rarely found in American gardens, this giant sized perennial “pincushion” provides an unusual mid to back of the border cottagey effect. Blooming generally from mid to late Summer you’ll get bunches of ice yellow, 3” wide flowers atop amazing 4’-5’ tall upright stems. (Superb for cutting!) Swaying and bobbing around in the breeze atop an attractive 1’x3’ dense clump of mid green foliage, the flowers entice both butterflies and bees. Cephalaria gigantea loves sun and well drained soil. Cut it back to the ground in Fall for a swell appearance each new year. Deciduous.Rich soil is best.
