Rudbeckia Henry Eilers from the perennial garden at Skylands New Jersey Botanical Gardens. The funny little petals never quite look open to me!
This plant was discovered on a railway embankment in the USA by retired botanist and horticulturist Henry Eilers.
Born in Germany, he moved to the United States where he set up his own nursery in 1960.
This example was seen at National Trust, Coleton Fishacre in September.
Rudbeckia subtomentosa 'Henry Eilers' 23W34 Coneflower S1- (Henry Eilers, IL) Sweet Coneflower or sweet black-eyed Susan, Mature plant size: 5x4ft., Yellow quilled, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW32, In Garden Bed S1 for 15.2 YEARS (7.95). Planted in 2008.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Henry Eilers’ typically grows to 3-5’ tall on stiff, upright, leafy stems. It was found growing in the wild in a railroad prairie remnant in Montgomery County, Illinois. In general appearance, the flowers are very similar to those of the species, except the yellow rays are rolled instead of flat, giving the flower a quilled effect. Dome-shaped brown center disks. Flowers bloom in clusters atop strong, sometimes-branching stems from July to September. Dark gray-green leaves (3-6” long) in basal clumps (some 3-lobed) with smaller unlobed stem leaves. Leaves have a mild sweet aroma. The cultivar was discovered by Henry Eilers, a well-known nurseryman in southern Illinois, and was introduced by Larry Lowman of Ridgecrest Nursery and Gardens in Wynne, Arkansas in 2003.
Rudbeckia subtomentosa that was discovered in Illinois. Just like the species but the individual flower petals are rolled (quilled). Found in southern Illinois by Henry Eilers, a horticulturist and retired nurseryman. A large perennial. Needs support. Lasts a long time as a cut flower. 2023 note: Was getting to wide, so I culled down to a quarter and installed a tall, narrow support.
