Grey-Headed Coneflower

Ratibida pinnata

With its graceful, drooping yellow petals and distinctive grey-brown cone-shaped center, Grey-headed Coneflower adds movement and charm to any native planting. Blooming from mid-summer into early fall, it attracts a steady stream of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators throughout the season. The tall stems sway gently in the breeze and look beautiful in both garden beds and floral arrangements.

This long-lived perennial is well-suited to sunny meadows, prairies, and wildflower gardens. It thrives in average to dry soils and is surprisingly tolerant of drought once established. A perfect choice for adding height and a touch of prairie elegance to your native garden.

A prolific self seeder, plant with caution in small landscapes. Cutting most (leave some for our bird friends) spent flowers can help limit spread if you have a smaller garden setting.
