Dwarf is relative!, in this case dwarf means a more user-friendly 3-4' with the same wonderful quilled golden flowers beloved by bouquet-makers and butterflies; a delight in border or meadow mid-summer-to-frost. S/M PPAF

Meet Rudbeckia subtomentosa 'Little Henry'. We're big fans of end of the summer blooming perennials, and have grown this "little" guy's big brother 'Henry Eilers' for some time. 'Little Henry' is not that little...he's 3-4' tall, but smaller in comparison to the 5-6' of his big brother. Quilled yellow daisies go on and on mid summer to frost.

The quilled or rolled petals of 'Little Henry' add a wonderful textural contrast to summer gardens, billowing above brilliant coneflowers and full-headed phloxes. A native beauty that attracts birds to its ample seeds, it also easily self sows. A perfect choice for creating habitat for birds, bees, and beneficial insects.

'Little Henry' displays the same charming blooms of 'Henry Eilers', but it is one third shorter topping off at three feet tall! Still good for cut flowers, but now fits well into the average landscape. This narrow, upright grower makes a great specimen in the border. The very appealing quilled, gold flowers bloom summer until frost. 'Little Henry' is one third shorter, blooms two weeks earlier, and doesn't fall open in the garden like 'Henry Eilers'.
