Henry Eiler’s Sweet Coneflower and Smooth Asters
Henry Eiler’s Sweet Coneflower is a North American native that bears the name of the southern Illinois horticulturist who found it growing at a railroad prairie remnant. When lightly rubbed, the leaves of Rudbeckia subtomentosa reveal their sweet vanilla scent.
For more about Quilled Sweet Coneflower see GMG post from last summer.
