Prairie Coneflower
Distinctive tall cones and drooping petals for sunny prairie-style plantings and pollinator gardens.
Prairie Coneflower—often called Mexican Hat—wears its name well: a tall central cone rises above drooping petals for a silhouette you can recognize across a meadow. It is a spirited North American native for sunny prairie gardens, naturalized plantings, and pollinator-focused landscapes.
