Additional Information: Mexican Hat, also known as Prairie Coneflower, gets its alternate name from the variations in its petal colors, which can range from bright yellow to deep red or striking bicolor combinations. Its distinctive sombrero-shaped blooms feature drooping petals around a tall central cone, adding unique texture and movement to landscapes. This hardy native wildflower thrives in sunny, dry environments and is highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its drought tolerance and adaptability to poor soils make it an excellent choice for xeriscaping, wildflower meadows, and prairie restorations.
