Ratibida pinnata, commonly known as Prairie Coneflower or Grey-Headed Coneflower, is a striking native perennial that thrives in prairies and meadows across North America. It features long, narrow petals that are typically golden-yellow, surrounding a prominent, spiky brownish central cone, giving the flower a unique, elegant appearance. The plant blooms in mid to late summer, attracting pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds. Prairie Coneflower thrives in full sun and well-drained, dry to average soil, making it perfect for wildflower gardens, meadows, or prairie plantings. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, providing both vibrant color and texture to the landscape while supporting local wildlife.
