It is prominently taprooted and grows upright from a woody base to a height of 30 to 90 cm. The numerous, pinnate leaves are deeply cut into linear or lance-shaped segments along alternately branched stems. Showy yellow (occasionally reddish-brown) ray flowers droop and surround the columnar-shaped, brown, central disk. The flowers bloom from late June until August, with seed maturing in August to September. The mature seedhead has a pleasant odor when crushed that is similar to anise or licorice. The fruit is a 1-seeded, gray-black achene. Seed viability is very high and longevity can be expected for 5 to 8 years when stored at moderate temperatures and low humidity. Stillwater Germplasm has approximately 1,320,000 seeds/kg and the full seeding rate is 2.2 kg/ha. It is recommended to be seeded in a mix at 0.3 to 0.6 kg/ha. Stillwater Germplasm prefers to grow in dry, open spaces of prairie grasslands and mountain foothills. It does well on a variety of soil types, including loams and rocky to gravelly-sandy textures. Stillwater Germplasm tolerates a pH range from slightly acidic to moderately alkaline and weakly saline conditions, in areas receiving 254 to 762 mm of annual precipitation. It will attain optimum growth in full sun and low to moderate levels of competition within a native plant community. Stillwater Germplasm is adapted for use in the foothills and prairies in the eastern and central parts of Montana and Wyoming, and western North and South Dakota. It is compatible in seeding mixtures of western wheatgrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, prairie Junegrass, Sandberg bluegrass, common gaillardia, white and purple prairie clover, big sagebrush, and western yarrow. Stillwater Germplasm is palatable and nutritious to all classes of domestic livestock when utilized in stages of early plant growth and development. It is a desirable spring browse plant for big game animals, and is preferred by several species of upland birds and small mammals. Stillwater Germplasm prairie coneflower was selected primarily for adding species diversity to native seed mixes in the rehabilitation of disturbed sites and as an ornamental wildflower in low maintenance or natural landscapes. | 1690906 | PI 649934 |

The rhizomes are covered with a dark brown papery coating, with few root hairs between root nodes. Once established either by seeding or sprigging, Shoshone is capable of spreading into even stronger saline soils. The hard seed coat, in part, creates both a physical and physiological seed dormancy, requiring that the seed be planted only in the late fall or winter. Wet, cold conditions are necessary to trigger germination. Shoshone has a shorter stature of 60-100 cm and is leafier than the native beardless wild rye. The majority of the leaves are basal or low on the seed-bearing culm. Leaves are light green to a yellowish-green. The seed-head of Shoshone are more compact with much shorter lemma awns. The seed of Shoshone does not shatter when mature, allowing direct-cut combining of seed. Shoshone has approximately 400 seeds per gram. | 1328976 | PI 434040 |

counties in West Central Missouri known as the Osage Plains. | | | | Wild material | NRCS description: Hardy perennial, erect often resinous herb, simple or branched, and arising from a tuber. The narrow leaves on the lower two-thirds of the plant are so crowded that they may appear spiraled rather than closely alternate. Lower leaves are larger, up to 4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide, than those farther up the stem. Both the stem and leaves usually display short, stiff hairs. The top two-thirds is a spike of rose-purple, thistle-like flowers that are give a somewhat fuzzy appearance be extended white stamen and pistils. Flowering starts at the tope of the spike and moves progressively downward. The oblong flower head has a mass of 5 to 12 tubular florets that somewhat resembles those of horsemint. A dense circle of bracts surrounds the base of each flower head. The tips of these long, pointed bracts tend to spread and curve back toward their bases. Bracts of this species may have a purplish tinge. All produce flowers in wandlike spikes or racemes. Their flowers are produced in late summer and autumn. They multiply by offsets from their cormlike base, or by seed which should be sown in autumn. They will grow and produce flowers in poorer soil than most garden plants, but thrive best in good, rich garden soil, and require no special care. Pycnostachya is one of the most conspicuous of the prairie inhabitants. Its leafy stem grows erect total height of 5 feet. The slender seeds are usually less than 1/4 inch long. The seed narrows toward the base and is tipped with a set of soft bristles about a long as the seed itself. Close examination of the seed shows 10 ribs or ridges. Occurs throughout the tallgrass prairie biome, often in thick stands on damp prairies and open bottom lands. Flowering begins in July and may continue until frost. Averages 131,000 seeds per pound. A seeding rate of 40 pure live seeds (PLS) per linear foot in 36 to 40 inch rows (4.4 pounds PLS per acre) is sufficient for seed production. Seed should be planted 1/4 inch deep in a firm relatively weed free seed bed. Seedling vigor is good and stands are comparatively easy to establish where competition is controlled. Mowing above the height and cultivating between the rows of Liatris pycnostachya have been used to reduce early competition when weeds begin to encroach into the planting. Seed should be planted in the fall (mid-October to mid-November or frost seeding during late October to late March in the Midwest United States). Seeds can also be stratified to obtain germination, by mixing seeds in damp sterile media and store in refrigerator (33-38 degrees F) for 60 days. Two months of this cold storage before planting is normally required to break the dormancy of this species. Seed yields are good and can be harvested with a combine. Seed production may yield 150-200 pounds per acre. Collections of prairie blazing star from east to west across Iowa guarantee adaptation of releases to this zone. | 1690909 | OPGC 2284 |
