Echinacea
Add bold, enduring color and pollinator-friendly charm to sunny garden spaces with Echinacea Purpurea, a hardy perennial celebrated for its striking daisy-like blooms and rugged resilience. Each flower boasts a prominent, coppery-orange cone surrounded by vibrant petals in shades of purple-pink, blooming steadily from early summer into fall. Loved by bees and butterflies, Echinacea brings both beauty and biodiversity to borders, cottage gardens, and prairie-style plantings. With its upright habit, strong stems, and drought tolerance, it thrives in hot, dry spots where other plants may falter—plus, it makes an excellent cut flower for fresh or dried arrangements.
Care tips:
• Light: Full sun for best flowering; tolerates light shade
• Water: Drought tolerant once established; water during prolonged dry spells
• Soil: Well-drained soil; adapts to poor or rocky conditions
• Maintenance: Low; deadhead for extended blooming or leave seed heads for winter interest and birds
