Open-pollinated. Perennial to Zone 3. One recent summer, I was enticed into a field by a yellow fluttering of dancing flowers on erect 1–3' slender stems. As I approached, I could see that the yellow petals merely skirted around a protruding cylindrical chocolate-brown center disk. One of its common names Mexican Hat evokes a tall sombrero and the lively and colorful Mexican Hat Dance. Prairie grasslands native likes full sun, blooms May through August, undaunted by drought. ~1,830 seeds/g. ③
