Narrow-Leaved Coneflower

Narrow-Leaved Coneflower captivates passers by with spiky orange cones encircled by drooping purple petals in mid-summer. Resembling its cousin, the Purple Coneflower, but standing at just two feet in height, it thrives in dry soils and boasts impressive drought tolerance. As a preferred host for the threatened Ottoe Skipper, it attracts butterflies and becomes a vital habitat. Goldfinches find delight in its seeds, enhancing the ecological value of this adaptable and compact perennial.
