“Prairie Coneflower” or “Grey-headed
Coneflower”
GOT
CLAY? This American native prairie flower does very well in clay,
sand, not-so-good soil, dry soil or wet soil. Distinguished by
its dramatic, pendulous, bright yellow petals, it forms an anise
scented, central gray cone that turns brown with age. To 4’
tall, it blooms profusely from June thru Fall and looks great
when 2’ or 3’ plants are massed together. It’s
an excellent habitat plant for birds & butterflies & deer
resistant, too. Good for erosion control & a good cut flower.
