Additional Information: Yellow Coneflower is a unique native species known for its drooping yellow petals and dark brown central cone. It thrives in dry prairies, rocky glades, and well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and drought-tolerant plantings. This long-blooming species is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while its seed heads provide food for birds in late summer and fall. With its tall form and resilience, Yellow Coneflower is a standout addition to prairie restorations, wildflower meadows, and pollinator gardens.
