Darn Gorgeous Rose

Narrow-Leaved Coneflower is a native perennial wildflower known for its pink to pale purple, daisy-like blooms. The petals (rays) droop downwards, around a dark, domed center, giving the flower a cone-like appearance. The nectar-rich blossoms attract a wide variety of pollinators, including native bees and butterflies. After flowering, the seeds provide food for birds, further adding to its ecological value.

Once established, it is drought-tolerant due to its deep taproot, which also helps stabilize soil. Narrow-Leaved Coneflower thrives in a variety of well-drained soils, including sandy, rocky, and alkaline. It often grows alongside the native grasses that characterize prairie and grassland ecosystems, making it well-suited for prairie and grassland restoration, naturalization, and pollinator gardens.

Developed by DNA Gardens, Darn Gorgeous Rose is an ornamental shrub that produces radiant red teacup blossoms throughout the summer.

If you are looking to add a splash of colour to your home garden, Darn Gorgeous Rose is for you.
