Inula magnifica, the giant fleabane,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the sunflower family Asteraceae, native to the eastern Caucasus. It is a tall herbaceous perennial growing to 1.8 m (6 ft) tall by 1 m (3 ft) broad, with hairy stems and leaves. In late summer it bears rich yellow, daisy-like composite flower-heads 15 cm (6 in) in diameter, with narrowly tubular ray florets.[2] It is suitable for planting at the back of a border, or in a wild meadow or prairie-style garden.

The cultivar 'Sonnenstrahl' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3][4]
