ECHINACEA PARADOXA

Not all coneflowers are pink or purple…

These prairie natives are a brilliant yellow with delicate drooping petals and rich brown centers. Reminiscent of black-eyed Susans, these flowers may bloom earlier and be much less common. Great for plant enthusiasts, garden ecologists, and flower lovers alike, these eye-catchers also attract bees, butterflies, and birds. These plants have taproots and are very drought tolerant, at home in the prairie garden as its moniker reveals; Ozark Coneflower.
