Grey-Headed Coneflower

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.
