Purple Coneflower is one of the most dependable and beautiful native wildflowers for creating a garden full of life. Its large, rosy-purple blooms provide months of vibrant color while attracting butterflies, native bees, and other pollinators throughout the summer. As the flowers slowly fade in late summer, seed heads become a very important food source for goldfinches and other native songbirds.

Extremely easy to grow and remarkably adaptable, Purple Coneflower is equally at home in pollinator gardens, prairie plantings, and other natural landscapes. Plant it and enjoy a garden that grows more lush and vibrant with each passing year.
