Striking, large flower heads rise above neat clumps of foliage 2 to 3 1/2 feet tall. The flower heads have white rays (petals) and greenish-changing-to-orangey-brown centers. At maturity, the rays angle downward and the center assumes a distinct cone shape. Plants are long-lived perennials and bloom June through August. They are easy to grow, the foliage is attractive, and the form of the flowers is unique and beautiful. Coneflowers attract butterflies and its seed is good for birds, too. Cat# 1261
