Nature Walk: Sweet Coneflowers

Posted on August 29, 2014 at 10:00 AM by Taylor Eisenhauer

Sweet Coneflowers

“Sweet Coneflowers are found in moist prairie swales. They are perennial, can be 5 feet in height and have dramatic spreading displays of flowers in late summer. We may think of them as Black-eyed Susans, which have very similar flowers and found in native prairies, but are biennial, much shorter in height and bloom in early summer.” -Carl Kurtz
