Purple Coneflower provides a whole season of entertainment. From butterfly spotting to bird watching, this gem keeps pollinators and gardeners happy.
At 3-4' tall, Echinacea is lovely in the mid-to back border and in sweeps. Purple Coneflower is happy in full to part sun and has a woody taproot that enables it to withstand drought once established. What seed the Finches do not eat will reseed to keep your Echinacea population growing.
Purple coneflower is a host plant for the Silvery Checkerspot butterfly and Wavy-lined Emerald moth caterpillars.
Quart sizes will bloom next season.
