The Native Perennial That Does It All
Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) is one of the most versatile and beloved native perennials in North American gardens. Bold rosy-purple daisy-like petals surround a spiky orange-bronze cone that attracts butterflies and bees all summer, then feeds goldfinches and other seed-eating birds through fall and winter when the seed heads are left standing.
Plants are long-lived, drought-tolerant once established, and are typically avoided by wildlife. They thrive in average to poor soils and require minimal care once established.
