I see some Green-headed or Cutleaf Coneflowers in scattered areas of meadow and woodland edges in the wild of southeast Pennsylvania in well-drained or draining wet soils. I've seen it in a few gardens also. Some are sold by larger, diverse conventional nurseries or native plant nurseries. It blooms in July into September and is a good pollinator plant. Its native range is from Quebec to Montana south to Arizona to Florida.

I've grown this for at least five years. From one innocent looking plant in a cup, I have a big patch of these. They spread by the roots and self sow as well. Need no special care at all to get over six feet tall. Goldfinches visit them for seed.
