Ratibida pinnata
“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.
