Discover the allure of Rudbeckia occidentalis, commonly known as Western Coneflower—a unique perennial that captures the essence of wild beauty and radiates ecological charm. Growing 2-6 ft. tall, this clump-forming plant flaunts thick, unbranched stems adorned with ovate leaves featuring distinctive toothed edges. In early summer through fall, it boasts striking purplish-brown central cones, encircled by yellow pollen and leafy bracts, ideal for pollinators like bees and butterflies. Unlike its relatives, it lacks showy ray florets but makes up for it with rich disc florets that provide significant nectar.

Perfect for moist mountain meadows and adaptable to gardens from perennial borders to wildflower meadows, it thrives in full sun with well-drained, moist soil, showing drought tolerance once established. Native to the American Northwest, it blooms profusely between June and August, extending with deadheading. Resistant to deer, this member of the Asteraceae family promises low maintenance with no serious pest concerns. Include the Western Coneflower in your garden for a natural, pollinator-friendly addition.
