Description
36-60"' tall x 24-36" wide. Native primarily to the Mid-Western US, this prairie wildflower is valued in the garden for its long season of mid-to-late summer bloom and its attractiveness to butterflies and seed eating birds. This deer resistant species makes an excellent cut flower and is easy-to-grow in a wide range of soil types. While slightly xeric, the plants should be irrigated in drier climates.

Happy with the plants
"The plants are planted & looking healthy & growing"
Won't grow
"Hard to grow. Mine hasn't grown and inch in the month it's been in the ground."
Interesting Addition to the garden
"I live in central AZ Zone 8a-7b. I have had this plant for three years now. It blooms reliably. I haven't had a lot of luck getting more blooms although I deadhead. It's been in a wooden trough since purchase, so should do fine in pots. We've had the hottest summer in over 20 years; scores of days over 90, several days over 100 - very unusual. It's about 4 ft tall. Rather a narrow plant so you need several together in ground. With these temps this year I have to water every day or it wilts, but it's in a trough so it may require less water in-ground. Overall I like it a lot; very different. I would probably give this five stars were it in the ground."
Absolute Favorite Echinacea/Coneflower
"I absolutely LOVE this plant, so much so, that I had to wait 2 years until they were available again. It was healthy when received (3 years ago now) and still healthy - reaching almost 6' feet at its peak - usually around July."
Wonderful plant! I'd been wanting it for awhile.
"I planted this in the back of my garden, and it compliments everything around it. Easy to maintain, and I have no negatives about this plant. What first attracted me to this particular Ratibida was the relaxed, natural look of the blooms as well as it's hardiness."

"These plants were very small the first year and rather stressed. This year they are great. The heavy rains have helped them grow large and ready to have a lot of blooms."
Great spot of color in garden!
"I live in southern Indiana where summers are quite humid and hot with upper 90's common. Winters can drop below 0 at times with teens quite common. I have had this plant for many years and it NEVER fails to wow me. Flowers last forever and are bright showstoppers of color. I love this plant! The only con I have is that it has not spread much since planted. It never fails to appear, however."
