basic information
Purple coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea) are vibrant, daisy-like perennials native to North America, known for their striking purple-pink petals and spiky, coppery centers. In gardens, they attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, supporting biodiversity. Their bold color adds visual interest to borders, mixed beds, or wildflower meadows. They also provide long-lasting blooms for cut flower arrangements and can be dried for winter displays. Additionally, their seeds draw birds, enhancing wildlife habitats.

How To Grow
GROWER TIP: Coneflower seeds can benefit from a process of stratification. Chill the seeds in the fridge, between a damp paper towel for 3 to 4 weeks. After this step is completed, sow the seeds in CowPots, 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost. Direct sow or transplant entire pots into the garden when temperatures reach 65F or more.
