Grow a bold and unusual native perennial with Rudbeckia occidentalis (Western Coneflower). Unlike traditional black-eyed Susans, this striking wildflower features tall stems topped with dramatic dark brown to black central cones — without petals — creating a modern, architectural look in the garden.

Native to western North America, Western Coneflower thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist to well-drained soil. It is an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, native landscapes, meadow plantings, and naturalized borders.

Blooming from early to mid-summer, this hardy perennial attracts bees and beneficial insects while adding height and strong vertical structure to garden designs. Its unique flower form also makes it a standout in fresh and dried floral arrangements.
