Western Coneflower
Rudbeckia occidentalis
50 seeds
Rudbeckia occidentalis is a species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common name Western Coneflower. It is native to the northwestern United States from Washington to northern California and east to Wyoming and Montana, where it grows in moist habitat types, such as meadows. It is an erect perennial herb growing from a thick rhizome, its mostly unbranched stem approaching two meters in maximum height. The large leaves are generally oval but pointed, and lightly to deeply toothed along the edges, growing to 30 cm long. The inflorescence is one or more flower heads with purplish bases up to 6 cm wide. There are no ray florets, just an array of reflexed phyllaries around the purple-brown center packed with disc florets.
Western Coneflower needs full sun. Sow the seeds in autumn, 1/4 of an inch deep, directly in prepared planting area. Water well. If planting stored seed, sow seed in early spring in a cold frame, only just covering the seed. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer.
