Description

Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) is an iconic North American native heirloom celebrated for its daisy-like blossoms featuring magenta-purple petals surrounding a prominent, spiky, copper-orange central cone. Rising on sturdy, upright stems clothed in deep green foliage, it blooms abundantly from mid-summer straight through early fall. Highly valued as both a timeless garden ornamental and a historic herbal staple, this hardy perennial is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and songbirds, bringing long-lasting color, drought resilience, and wildlife value to borders, meadows, and cut flower arrangements.
