Among the finest and most popular perennials, 'Magnus' is sturdy, drought tolerant, and unusually florific. When planted alone it makes a superb addition to the perennial border combining marvelously with ornamental grasses such as Calamgrosits, Miscanthus, and Pennisetum cultivars. Or, it can be massed as a ground cover for dramatic effect. During spring, coneflower sports dark green coarse textured leaves and by mid summer is decorated with masses of large purple petaled brown centered cones - excellent for dried flower arrangements and persistent to the point of providing color through fall and seed for songbirds during winter. Perennial Plant of the Year 1998
