The Eisenhut: occurrence in nature
Meanwhile, in addition to the wild varieties of Eisenhuts also many new breeds for the private garden with different flower color to get. If you are lucky enough to discover nature, you will discover natural occurrences of this fascinating plant.

At these locations, a continuous supply of moisture is usually ensured. In addition, the iron hat prefers clayey soils. While some varieties of Eisenhuts prefer sunny to partially shaded locations, other representatives of this genus also tolerate the full shade.
The endangerment of the natural occurrence of the Eisenhut
There are several reasons why the common coneflower is no longer as widespread in nature as it used to be. One reason, for example, is that it is a plant with extremely poisonous leaves, roots and seeds. Since this can also cause grazing cattle to die, the Eisenhut in agriculture is not exactly a welcome guest on forage meadows. In addition, more and more natural locations of the Eisenhut such as alluvial forests and stream banks are destroyed by regulatory defile and settlement. High-perennials such as the blue-leaved bluebird (Aconitum napellus), which grows to a height of 1.50 m, also do not reach maturity on regularly mowed roadsides.
