Rudbeckia occidentalis 'Green Wizard'

If you appreciate the curious, the unusual, the truly unique, then allow this novelty to work some magic in your garden. From a leafy green basal clump appear 3 to 5 in. wide flowers on sturdy stalks, each featuring a huge central chocolate brown boss encompassed by approximately ten large and stiff well-spaced bright green sepals. Unparalleled as a cut flower fresh or dried, florists, gardeners and birds seek out these extraordinary blooms that first form an intriguing golden ring of pollen around their striking cones. Quick to establish and undemanding, this attention grabber guarantees a flashy display of neon color when paired with Kniphofia linearifolia and Salvia 'Limelight'.

Striking, huge, almost black central cones are surrounded by bright green sepals that flare out like a star on this unusual & easy, fast growing perennial Rudbeckia. From 3’-5’ tall, it does call attention to itself in the garden, as the flowering heads are 3”-5” across! Superb, long lasting CUT FLOWER, fresh or dried. Blooms July thru September.
