Inula magnifica is a dramatic looking plant, bearing huge sprays of bright yellow shaggy daisies, in contrast with large, dock-like leaves. It's perfect for a large sunny border in a sheltered location, or at the pond edge.
Grow Inula magnifica in moist soil in partial shade. Cut back plants after flowering and divide congested clumps in spring.
