Golden Glow (aka Green-headed Coneflowers, Yellow Coneflowers) have fabulous daisy-like flowers with unusual dome-like green center disks on tall stems. The plants are easily grown in average, medium well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Also called tall coneflower (note the height potential), the plants are vigorous spreaders if grown in borders and do especially well in wet soils that challenge most other plants; divide clumps to control growth. Fall rebloom can be encouraged by removing spent blossoms.
