Mexican Hat - 100 Seeds - Drought Tolerant Coneflower Flower

Ratibida columnifera, commonly known as upright prairie coneflower or Mexican hat, is a perennial species of flowering plant in the genus Ratibida family Asteraceae.

It will grow in virtually any well-drained soil in full sun and is very drought tolerant, though regular watering during very dry periods will produce better flowers. You can grow Mexican hat plants from seed, though you may not see flowers until the second year.

A good naturalizing wildflower, it attracts bees and butterflies.
