| Description | Native to the meadows of North America, this highly adaptable plant needs little care. Purple-pink flowers grow on tall stems, perfect for meadow plantings and native gardens. Loved by pollinators. Tolerant of drought, heat, humidity, and clay or poor soils. An herbaceous perennial. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Summer |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Herbaceous |
| Special Features | North American Native, Attracts Pollinators |
| Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant, Drought Tolerant |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Flower Attributes | Flowers for Cutting, Showy Flowers |
| Landscape Use | Border |
| Design Ideas | Coneflowers are a mainstay in the garden. For the prairie look, plant along with ornamental grasses, tuck into rock gardens or among dry stream-bed boulders. This easy-care perennial is equally at home in mixed borders and cottage gardens. Be sure to leave some spent blooms on the plants in the fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter. |
| Flower Color | Purplish-pink |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Care Instructions | Requires well-drained, fertile soil. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates moderate drought. Remove spent blooms to prolong flowering season. Prune back old foliage and apply fertilizer in early spring before new growth emerges. |
