Grow a striking and historic garden perennial with Elecampane, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its large golden-yellow daisy-like flowers, bold textured foliage, and impressive garden presence. Inula helenium, commonly known as Elecampane, is a hardy perennial herb that has been cultivated for centuries in herb gardens and cottage gardens. Its tall flower stalks provide dramatic vertical interest while attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Inula helenium thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, moist, well-draining soil. Its large green basal leaves create an attractive clump during spring, followed by tall stems topped with bright golden-yellow flowers from mid to late summer. This long-lived perennial makes an excellent addition to pollinator gardens, naturalized landscapes, meadow plantings, and perennial borders.
