Mexican Hat is a plant that many of us take for granted because it is such a common sight virtually everywhere due to it's prolific seeding habit. However, in the home wildflower or perennial garden, it is a delightful plant that blooms freely over a long period, makes a great long-stemmed, interesting cut flower, and does well in that hot, dry, poor-soil area that nothing else seems to grow in. It is yet another perennial member of the huge Aster family, and close relatives include sunflowers, black-eyed Susans, shasta daisies, and purple coneflower, to name a few.
