Description

Clasping Coneflower is a radiant native annual that brings bold color and carefree charm to sunny meadows and pollinator gardens. With golden-yellow petals that dance around a rich, chocolate-brown center cone, this North American wildflower blooms generously from early summer into fall. Its name comes from the distinctive leaves that gently “clasp” the upright stems—a botanical hug that adds both character and easy identification in naturalized plantings.

This sun-loving wildflower is a resilient choice for low-maintenance landscapes, prairie-style plantings, and large-scale meadow projects. As a fast-growing annual, it establishes quickly from seed and often reseeds in favorable conditions, creating a dynamic, evolving display year after year without becoming unruly.

Beloved by bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, Dracopis amplexicaulis supports biodiversity while delivering long-lasting color. Its sturdy stems make it suitable for cutting, bringing a bit of meadow magic indoors. Whether woven into a wildflower mix or planted en masse for a golden sweep of summer brilliance, Clasping Coneflower is an easygoing native that proves bold beauty and ecological benefit can bloom side by side.
