Prairie Coneflower is a very versatile prairie native, thriving in a wide variety of soil types and moisture levels.  Ratibida pinnata blooms from July to September, producing a wealth of deep yellow coneflowers with reflexed petals and prominent brown cones.  The mature seeds are an excellent food source for finches, so leave the tall stalks standing into fall.  This is a hard working perennial for the back of mixed borders or for massing in meadows.
