Elecampane flowers in July and August with large yellow flower heads and long, narrow ray florets. It grows up to two metres tall, has massive basal leaves and was long an important medicinal plant in monastery gardens. On damp, nutrient-rich soils it runs wild. It provides nectar and pollen in high summer.
