Ratibida Columnifera Pulcherrima (Mexican Hat, Prairie Coneflower)

(2 customer reviews)

$14.00 – $53.00

Add Latin flare to your garden with these little sombrero-shaped flowers. Each plant bears 3-7 flower heads of yellow and red-brown blooms, drooping rays surrounding a long, red-brown central disk.

This sun-loving, native plant is easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained, rocky, or mildly poor soil but it also tolerates light shade. Additionally, Mexican Hats can handle drought, though they will benefit from occasional watering in dry weather which also prolongs their flowering season.

These vibrant flowers make an excellent choice for hot, dry areas! Once mature, these Prairie Cone Flowers can be divided every 2-3 years, will attract butterflies, and even repel deer, now that is a recipe for a true garden fiesta!

This fast-growing plant blooms, on average from June thru September, and will provide a carefree and easy to grow burst of color that looks awesome as a wildflower, in a garden, or as a cut flower. Ole’!

Fun fact: There are 5 species of cone flowers ranging in color from yellow through purple. Colorado Hardy Plants carries several of these varieties. https://www.coloradohardyplants.com/product/echinacea-purpurea-purple-cornflower/

  1. Jessica –

    Fantastic plant! Came packaged carefully with other plants and every single one of them was in healthy condition ready to go in the ground. Flowers stayed beautiful a long time. They all wintered well and are looking good as Spring creeps around the corner. Thank you for a beautiful product. Will be using this company for all my plant needs!

  2. Steph –

    These plants are amazing! When you made the comment to me that if they start to take over, I could just move some, they must have heard your words! This year I even have some coming up in another barrel at least 10 feet away. The little flying friends enjoy them, too. So glad you suggested them – really like them a lot.
