Echinacea purpurea, also known as purple coneflower has iconic large, purple, daisy-like flowers with a raised central cone. The plant grows to be between 2’-4’ feet tall and has smooth, green leaves. The flowers of the plant are large and brightly colored, making them attractive to pollinators. The central cone of the flower, also known as the receptacle, is particularly rich in nectar, which makes it an attractive food source for bees and other nectar-seeking insects. The flowers of Echinacea purpurea are also a good source of pollen, which is a food source for many types of bees. It is commonly used in traditional medicine for its immune-boosting properties. 

Echinacea purpurea prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is a hardy plant that can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions and is drought-tolerant once established. It enjoys full sun to partial shade and blooms from July - September. You can’t go wrong with this native staple in your yard!
