Family: Aster (Asteraceae)

Hardy to Zones 5 to 8

(Magnificent Elecampane)  Herbaceous perennial. Native to Europe. Giant, coarse, aromatic leaves and multiple upright stems bearing flowers colored yellow with dark centers, up to 6 inches across. The roots of “Magnificent” taste similar to what we call “Official” (that is  Inula helenium), but “Magnificent” is less root productive and not traditionally used. We’ve noticed the plants prefer partial shade and moist soils. Space plants 2 or 3 feet apart.
