        <p className="mt-4">
          The humble coneflower is a common sighting amongst the prairie grasses
          of the Great Plains. Deceptively delicate-looking with its petals
          ranging in hue from dark magenta to light pink, the coneflower is
          actually a drought-tolerant perennial that uses its long taproot and
          affinity for sunlight to persevere and prosper across the Midwest.
