Clasping Coneflower(Dracopis amplexicaulis), is a smooth stemmed annual coneflower with solitary flower heads 2-3 feet tall. It thrives in a variety of soils, including sand, loam, clay, and caliche and loves high moisture. This plant features oblong leaves with heart-shaped, clasping bases. The yellow petals, with reddish-purple bases, are numerous and droop away from the dark, elongated, cone-shaped center. Clasping Coneflower provides nectar for bees and butterflies while also being used medicinally by indigenous peoples through history. This plant is great for areas that get more water as it doesn't like to be left to dry out.
