The sturdy stems carry the blossoms from midsummer to fall. The coneflower is known for its large flower heads that turn to seed in the fall. It is a great choice for cut flowers, and it adds a wilderness look to your garden. ‘Magnus’ usually reblooms without deadheading, but if spent flowers are removed, this procedure will encourage continued beautiful blooms and improves general appearance. This coneflower keeps coming all summer on tall plants with excellent branching. If you leave some spent blooms on the plants in fall their seeds provide winter food for birds. You can enjoy the dried seed heads as well, because they will provide architectural interest in the winter. ‘Magnus’ will give you weeks of dependable color, and it provides a striking display with its dark foliage and deep purple flowers! * Dark foliage * Long blooming * Easy to grow
