A stand-out long after the summer garden fades, Mexican Hat is a real conversation piece. This tall grower has a protruding, cone-like center and drooping bright yellow and red petals, creating a broad-brimmed, sombrero look. Ideal accent for back of the border, or massed along foundation walls and unsightly fences. Found naturally on gentle slopes. Beautiful as a cut flower. In a large bed, create a dramatic background for lower growing plants (not to mention a great cutting garden) by mixing Mexican Hat with Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) and Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus).
