YELLOW PRAIRIE CONEFLOWER 1 GAL

Bring the cheerful glow of sunshine to your high-country garden with the Yellow Prairie Coneflower! Also affectionately known as Mexican Hat due to its distinctive bloom shape, this captivating native perennial features a prominent, often reddish-brown central cone surrounded by gracefully reflexed, bright yellow petals. It creates a wonderfully natural and airy look, perfect for adding a touch of rustic charm to meadows, naturalized areas, or mixed perennial borders. Typically growing to a charming 1 to 3 feet tall and about 1 to 2 feet wide, it provides subtle vertical interest and movement in the breeze.

Yellow Prairie Coneflower is a genuine sun-worshipper, absolutely flourishing in the intense Prescott sun. It needs a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight each day to produce its profusion of long-lasting blooms from early summer well into fall. Once established, this resilient plant is exceptionally drought-tolerant, demanding very little supplemental water, making it an ideal, low-maintenance option for water-wise landscapes. A significant advantage for local gardeners is its natural resistance to both deer and rabbits, ensuring your beautiful blooms remain untouched. Beyond its beauty and hardiness, Yellow Prairie Coneflower is a magnet for beneficial pollinators like butterflies and native bees, and its seeds provide a valuable food source for songbirds as the seasons change.
