Green-headed Coneflower, Greenhead Coneflower, Cutleaf Coneflower, Wild Goldenglow, Sochan
This perennial plant looks like a sunflower with its tall, leafy stalk and branched flowers at the top. The flowers are greenish-yellow with slanting golden rays and grow three to four inches wide. As the seeds mature, the centers turn elongated and brownish. It produces beautiful pinnately dissected leaves in early spring.
The black-eyed Susan (R. hirta), an eastern species introduced to many places in the West, has dark brown or brown-maroon hemispheres surrounding orange-yellow, slightly drooping rays. The fruit lacks scales or crowns, and the lanceolate leaves sometimes have teeth.
Due to its tendency to spread through underground stems, the cut-leaf coneflower is best suited for large areas. It may require support in the garden, but it is a very hardy plant.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
