Echinacea Purpurea

Echinacea purpurea commonly known as Purple Coneflower, is a hardy native perennial prized for its classic daisy-like blooms and long-lasting summer color. Large rosy-purple petals surround a prominent coppery-orange cone, creating a bold yet natural look in garden beds and meadow-style plantings. Blooming from early summer into fall, it attracts butterflies and pollinators while also providing seed heads that birds enjoy in winter. Growing 2–4 feet tall with a sturdy, upright habit, Purple Coneflower thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established and deer resistant, it’s a dependable, low-maintenance choice for adding vibrant color and native beauty to residential and commercial landscapes.
