Add bold contrast and architectural interest to your garden with Western Coneflower (Rudbeckia occidentalis), a striking native perennial known for its tall, dark purple-black central cone surrounded by minimal or absent petals. This unique form creates a dramatic silhouette in native plantings and wildflower gardens.
Western Coneflower thrives in meadows, prairies, borders, and naturalized landscapes, particularly in moist to mesic soils. The tall cones attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, while the seed heads provide food for birds later in the season.
