Gregg’s Mistflower (Conoclinium greggii)
A cheerful native perennial that produces clouds of soft blue flowers that butterflies flock to. It spreads to form a loose colony and adds a natural meadow look to sunny beds. Best where it has a little room to wander.
Typical Uses
• Pollinator gardens
• Meadow or cottage plantings
• Back of low native beds
• Seasonal color in sunny areas
Growing Conditions
Light: Full sun to part sun
Water: Moderate; prefers periodic watering for best performance
Soil: Adaptable; performs best in average to well-drained garden soils
Size
Height: About 12–18 inches
Spread: About 12–24 inches, forming colonies over time
Behavior
Evergreen or Deciduous: Herbaceous perennial, dies back in winter
Growth rate: Moderate to fast spreading
Traffic tolerance: None
Deer resistance: Moderate
Ecology
Native range: Texas and northern Mexico
Wildlife value: Excellent nectar plant for butterflies and small pollinators
Extra Notes
Spreads by rhizomes and can naturalize in favorable conditions. Cut back in late winter before new growth begins. Benefits from occasional thinning if a tidier look is desired.
