Additional Information: Purple Coneflower is a well-known native wildflower recognized for its large, pinkish-purple petals surrounding a raised, spiky orange-brown cone. It is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while its seed heads provide food for birds in the fall and winter. Thriving in prairies, meadows, and gardens, it is more tolerant of moisture and richer soils compared to other Echinacea species. Its strong, upright growth habit and long bloom period make it a reliable choice for pollinator gardens, native plant landscapes, and prairie restorations.
