About this Plant
Grey-Headed Coneflower, also called Yellow Coneflower or Prairie Coneflower, brings a lively, prairie-style look to sunny gardens with its drooping yellow petals and tall brown central cones. Blooming from midsummer into early fall, it provides a long-lasting display of color and movement, especially when planted among native grasses and other meadow flowers.
This tough perennial thrives in full sun, poor soils, and dry conditions, making it a strong choice for xeriscaping, prairie restorations, and low-maintenance borders. Its flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while the seed heads feed birds through fall and winter.
Why Choose Grey-Headed Coneflower?
- Long bloom time from midsummer into early fall
- Unique flower form adds prairie character and movement
- Excellent nectar source for bees and butterflies
- Seed heads provide food for birds
- Drought-tolerant and well-suited to poor soils
Maintenance Tips
- Deadhead spent blooms to encourage additional flowering.
- Divide clumps every 3-4 years in the spring to rejuvenate and maintain vigor.
- Allow seedlings to establish for natural expansion or remove to maintain controlled growth areas.
