Description
Sweet coneflower leaves have a pleasant fragrance, similar with that of Sweet Grass. Even the dry seedheads and stems seem to be fragrant when I collected the seeds.
This is a very handsome, long lived coneflower with good flowering period in late summer-fall, attractive for pollinators. The flowers have yellow rays and dark reddish disk florets; the leaves are deeply lobed.
Mature plants will tolerate drought, just that remain smaller in stature.
Germination: sow in late fall/early winter outdoors or start it early in the spring; said to require only 1 month of cold/moist stratification.
