Clasping Coneflower's name comes from the way the leaves clasp or wrap around the stem, a unique characteristic that distinguishes it from other coneflower species. This annual wildflower grows to a height of 1-3 feet and features bright yellow petals, often with reddish-purple bases, with a dark brown or black central cone. This wildflower is native to the central and southeastern United State and often planted in sunny borders, wildflower meadows, and pollinator gardens. Native Americans in this region, like the Cherokee, have used these flowers for relieving tonics. Clasping Coneflower is also highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Also Known As: Claspingleaf Coneflower, Amplexicaul Coneflower, Clasping Leaf Coneflower, Yellow Coneflower, Clasping Helianthus, Yellow Dracopis, Stem-clasping Coneflower, Stem-clasping Yellowhead, Prairie Coneflower, Amplexus Sunflower.

Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last average frost date in Spring. Transplant, or direct sow seeds, to a permanent location in Spring after the ground has thawed and all danger of frost has passed. For Fall planting, direct sow in late Fall before the ground freezes. Keep soil moist. Blooms the first year. Perennial.
