Ozark Coneflower (Echinacea paradoxa), has a bright yellow bloom, while all other native Echinaceas are purple to pink. Butterflies and other pollinators flock to the large, daisy-like flowers with large brown central cones, and birds love the seeds. This rare native wildflower is found only in the Ozark region of Arkansas and Missouri, but also thrives in gardens from the upper Midwest to the Northeast. Preferring medium to dry soil conditions and in full sun to partial shade, it blooms along with Pale Purple Coneflower approximately June through July. Other common names include Bush's Coneflower.
Native Americans have recognized the medicinal value of Echinacea for centuries. Today, the plants are widely used, in supplements and herbal teas, for their numerous health benefits.
Native plants can be grown outside of their native range in the appropriate growing conditions. This map shows the native range, as well as the introduced range, of this species.
