Sweet Coneflower

Sweet Coneflower
Our friend Larry Lowman of Ridgecrest Nursery in Wynne, Arkansas gave us this plant. It was named for the fellow that discovered it along a stream in Montgomery County, Ill.

Quilled sweet coneflower should be given a sunny location at the back of the border. It's compatible with other perennials in the sunny border, but over feeding, keeping it too wet or over crowding may cause it to topple over on its neighbors.
