Inula magnifica
Giant fleabane is a tall, hairy-stemmed perennial from the Caucasus that produces large yellow daisy-like flowers in late summer. It suits the back of a border or a wild meadow planting, and needs room since it can reach about 1.8 m tall.
Inula magnifica, the giant fleabane, is a species of flowering plant in the sunflower family Asteraceae, native to the eastern Caucasus. It is a tall herbaceous perennial growing to 1.8 m (6 ft) tall by 1 m (3 ft) broad, with hairy stems and leaves. In late summer it bears rich yellow, daisy-like composite flower-heads 15 cm (6 in) in diameter, with narrowly tubular ray florets. It is suitable for planting at the back of a border, or in a wild meadow or prairie-style garden.
The cultivar 'Sonnenstrahl' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
