Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) is a classic native perennial celebrated for its bold, long-lasting blooms and exceptional wildlife value. This 32-plant pack features true native seed-grown stock, not cultivated varieties—making it more resilient, more beneficial to pollinators, and better suited for naturalistic plantings.
From mid to late summer, Purple Coneflower produces vibrant purple-pink petals surrounding spiky orange centers, drawing in bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. As blooms fade, the dark seed heads remain standing, offering winter texture and a natural food source for goldfinches and other seed-loving birds.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it’s both drought-tolerant and adaptable, spreading easily by seed. While it's not aggressive, seedlings can be pulled in spring to keep your planting tidy.

Plant Purple Coneflower in your sunny garden or prairie planting to enjoy color, texture, and wildlife activity from summer through winter.
