Everwilde Farms - 1 oz Long Headed Coneflower Native Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

Centered above drooping yellow petals, this prolific perennial sports dozens of tall center cones. This native is a cousin to Mexican Hat, but does not have any red streaks in it - just yellow. Native coneflowers have a reputation for establishing themselves in soil that few other plants would tolerate. They have a long-lived persistence, and also attract butterflies and songbirds. English naturalist Thomas Nuttall first documented this species on one of his many expeditions throughout western America. The Latin name "columnifera" means "column," referring to the prominent center of each blossom.
