Echinacea purpurea – Purple Coneflower
Price range: $47.00 through $52.00
Purple Coneflower is a coarse, hairy native perennial with an upright clumping habit with strong stems that do not need staking. The dark green foliage is broadly lance-shaped. Purple Coneflower has showy daisy-like purple coneflowers with downward arching petals with an orange center cone that blooms throughout summer.
The long lasting flowers are a nectar favorite and attract several butterflies and bees, while spent stems will stay erect and attract birds.
Although it blooms in summer, echinacea is a great ally during cold and flu season. The fresh root is indicated for virus and infection, internally and topically.* The flowers are also edible and make for a vibrant salad!
