Votaniki Echinacea Purpurea Coneflower – Herbaceous Perennial, Coneflower Roots for Planting | Summer Flowers, Easy to Grow

Description

Echinacea Purpurea, commonly known as Purple Coneflower, is a flowering plant native to North America. Echinacea purpurea (Purple Coneflower) is an outstanding herbaceous perennial boasting a profusion of large, daisy-like, lavender-pink blooms, 5 inches across (12 cm), throughout early summer to early fall. These coneflower long-lasting, showy blossoms are borne atop strong, erect stems clad with coarse, lance-shaped, dark green leaves. They feature lavender pink, drooping rays surrounding a spiny, dark brown central cone. Rich in nectar, they attract butterflies and hummingbirds. If its flower heads are not removed in the fall, the blackened cones will be visited by birds that feed on the seeds. Vigorous and easy care, drought, heat, humidity, and poor soil tolerance, Echinacea purpurea is a suitable addition to a prairie garden and looks terrific when massed in perennial borders or flower arrangements. Coneflowers complement a variety of garden companions, including ornamental grasses, black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia), and bee balm (Monarda). Their bold, daisy-like flowers create a striking contrast when planted alongside delicate perennials such as lavender or Russian sage. As perennial plants, Coneflowers return year after year with increasing vigor, forming clumps that expand over time. This longevity ensures a lasting investment in your garden, providing enduring beauty and benefits for seasons to come.
