Additional Information: Clasping Coneflower is a fast-growing native wildflower recognized for its bright yellow, drooping petals and dark brown central cone. Its name comes from the way its leaves clasp around the stem. Thriving in prairies, roadsides, and disturbed areas, it reseeds readily and can create colorful displays in wildflower meadows. This plant attracts pollinators, including bees and butterflies, and provides seeds for birds in the late season. With its easy growth and long bloom period, Clasping Coneflower is an excellent choice for naturalized plantings, pollinator gardens, and erosion control.
