Coneflower seeds now available
Purple coneflowers, the official flower of Beloit, are now available for residents to pick up.
In May, citizens chose the purple coneflower above two other nominees to become the official flower of Beloit. The more than 1,000 seed packets have been delivered by Taylor Creek Native Plant Nursery in Brodhead and are now available to residents. The packages are specifically designed for Beloit and read “The winner of the America in Bloom competition.”
Visit Beloit Executive Director Martha Mitchell said people are welcome to pick up seed packets at the Visit Beloit office, Welty Environmental Center, the Water Works Pump House or Taylor Creek Nursery. The seeds are meant to be planted in the fall, Mitchell said. Seed packets are free and available to the public until they are gone.
