  • Distinctive Flowers: Purple coneflower is named for its striking, daisy-like flowers with prominent raised centers, resembling a cone. The petals are typically a vibrant purple to pinkish-purple color, although cultivars with different flower colors, such as white and orange, are also available.

  • Medicinal Uses: Echinacea purpurea has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly for its purported immune-boosting properties. It is commonly used in various forms, such as teas, extracts, and supplements, to support immune health. However, scientific evidence regarding its effectiveness is mixed, and it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before using it for medicinal purposes.

  • Wildlife Attraction: The nectar-rich flowers of purple coneflower attract pollinators, including bees and butterflies, making it a valuable plant for supporting local pollinator populations. Additionally, the seeds of the plant provide food for birds during the fall and winter months.

  • Drought Tolerance: Echinacea purpurea is known for its drought tolerance once established. It can thrive in well-drained soils and is often used in xeriscaping and native plant gardens.

  • Ornamental Value: In addition to its potential medicinal uses and ecological benefits, purple coneflower is a popular choice in ornamental landscaping. It is used in flower borders, cottage gardens, and naturalistic landscapes for its colorful and long-lasting blooms.

Care Instructions

Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
