Gray-headed Coneflower is a beautiful and unique wildflower. It showcases a bright golden color in the summer months, with distinctive drooping petals surrounding tall gray seed heads, hence how it got it's name. The abundant blooms attract butterflies, native bees, and countless pollinators before maturing into seed that songbirds absolutely love through late summer and fall.

It's long-lived, hardy, and easy to grow, Gray-headed Coneflower thrives in sunny prairies, meadows, and pollinator gardens while tolerating heat and dry conditions once fully established. Plant it and the native pollinators will thank you year after year.
