An attractive, upright, perennial coneflower species native to the Piedmont range, USA, and producing pretty, spider-like blooms from May - August. Flowers have a reddish-brown central cone surrounded by narrow, drooping, 10cm long, pale pink-purple petals. Not particularly suited to landscaping due to each plant only producing one flower but an excellent addition to dry, sandy soil meadows and wildlife gardens, especially for pollinators
