Additional Information: A favorite here at the nursery, Pale Purple Coneflower is a striking native wildflower recognized for its long, narrow pinkish-purple petals that droop gracefully from a dark brown central cone. It thrives in dry prairies, open fields, and well-drained soils, making it well-suited for xeriscaping and low-maintenance native plant gardens. This species is highly attractive to pollinators, including bees and butterflies, and its prominent seed heads provide food for birds in late summer and fall. With its tall, elegant form and deep root system, Pale Purple Coneflower is a resilient addition to prairie restorations, wildflower meadows, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
