Meet American Basketflower!

American Basketflower ((Plectocephalus americanus)

Meet the American Basketflower (Plectocephalus americanus), a stunning Oklahoma native that brings both charm and ecological benefits to your garden. Named for the unique basket-like bracts that cradle its large pinkish-purple blooms, this plant is a magnet for pollinators like bees and butterflies, and is one of the 20 varieties of wildflowers contained in our Love Bombs (organic native Oklahoma wildflower seed bombs)

Its nectar-rich flowers support bees, butterflies, and other essential pollinators. It thrives in Oklahoma’s sunny landscapes with minimal water.  And, it reaches heights of 3–5 feet, making it a striking addition to any prairie or wildflower garden!
