Culture: Echinacea prefers loose, sandy soil, but will do fine in clay if given time. Plant in spring or fall.
Purple coneflower is tough, great for cutting, and one of our most beautiful
native wildflowers. Once plants with their dark green, deeply-veined leaves are
established, it can be the most important color maker in a mature perennial bed
in midseason.
Under its botanical genus name, Echinacea, it has gained worldwide popularity as the No. 1 herbal medicinal. Long a favorite of Native Americans in treating snakebite, Echinacea today is used in tablet and other forms to ward off colds and flus, and even to support the immune system. Millions of Americans now take pills or potions containing Echinacea daily. (Medicine is made from all parts of the plant, but most important are the thick black rootstocks, which are ground up for processing.)
Our plants are heavy, container grown stock. Not like the small field-dug plants offered by many mail-order nurseries!
All sizes offered will bloom the year planted out in your garden.
