Ratibida columnifera, Prairie Coneflower is a biennial to short-lived perennial which is native from Alberta to Texas, New Mexico and Arkansas.
Flowers have an elongated center and drooping yellow petals.
It is easy to grow and prefers moderate to dry, well-drained soils and full sun.
Plants bloom in summer and are ideal for wildflower mixtures, pollinator plantings and xeriscape gardens.
Growing wild in the plains states, Prairie Coneflowers get their name from yellow petals surrounding tall cones. Light-green foliage creates a beautiful backdrop for the textured blooms.
This brilliant yellow wildflower is a classic native variety that is very popular for native seed mixes because it is reliable and showy. The songbirds also love the numerous seed cones and forage on them into the cold winter months.
Native coneflowers have a reputation for establishing themselves in soil that few other plants would tolerate. They have a long-lived persistence, and also attract butterflies and songbirds. English naturalist Thomas Nuttall first documented this species on one of his many expeditions throughout western America. The Latin name "columnifera" means "column," referring to the prominent center of each blossom.
