Inula
at Digging Dog
Including Inula hookeri & Inula magnifica
Inula
These upright, easygoing perennials promise to brighten any sunny spot with their cheerful display of yellow, daisy-like flowers. Inulas belong to the Asteraceae family and require little maintenance, asking only for well drained soil. Inula hookeri 
With finely petaled flowers so yellow and round
that they look like the sun in a young child’s drawing, the vigorous Inula hookeri guarantees a vibrant effect. If given plenty of space plus moisture-retentive soil, trust its upright stems and bright green leaves to create a strong, dense clump. We’re especially fond of its fuzzy buds,
and like to unite this vivacious perennial with Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ and Thalictrum rochebrunianum.
Blooms late July–October. Size: 4' high x 18" & spreading; hardy to zone 5. Inula hookeri (p-0094)
Each $6.00

Inula magnifica
The species name of this perennial pretty much sums up its monumental presence. Tough, roughly textured, Dock-like leaves create a verdant mass, diminishing in size as they ascend stout stalks.
The towering purple-streaked stems are crowned with widely branching heads of 3 to 4 in. daisies,
delicately rayed, golden yellow blooms that emerge from brown buds. Give it plenty of room, and highlight its massive stature with the arresting color and delicate foliage of Thalictrum ‘Elin’.
Blooms August–mid-September. Size: 7'–8' high x 4'–5' wide; hardy to zone 6.
