Purple Coneflower - Echinacea purpurea - Tray of 5 Landscape Plugs
A workhorse and a nice bridge between traditional and native plant gardeners, because it's recognizable, grows well in many conditions and offers long-lasting blooms throughout the summer. It will attract all sorts of pollinators (bees, butterflies, moths) and is a perfect pick for backyard birders. Watching goldfinches land on top of this species to feast on its seeds is a reminder that planting ecosystems that support birds is even better than hanging a bird feeder.
Height: 2-3'
Blooms: July - September
Soil: Average to moist
Light: Full Sun to Part Shade
