TomorrowSeeds - Clasping Coneflower Seeds - 6000+ Count - For 2026 Planting Dracopis Rudbeckia

Clasping Coneflower's name comes from the way the leaves clasp or wrap around the stem, a unique characteristic that distinguishes it from other coneflower species. This annual wildflower grows to a height of 1-3 feet and features bright yellow petals, often with reddish-purple bases, with a dark brown or black central cone. This wildflower is native to the central and southeastern United State and often planted in sunny borders, wildflower meadows, and pollinator gardens. Native Americans in this region, like the Cherokee, have used these flowers for relieving tonics. Clasping Coneflower is also highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
