Purple Coneflower

Echinacea purpurea


An iconic native prairie flower, the Purple Coneflower has attained commercial popularity due to its lack of maintenance, striking purple coloring, and medicinal uses. This perennial will bloom during early and midsummer, and as most native prairie forbs, it attracts a large array of pollinators and birds. Native Americans and European settlers alike heavily utilized this plant for its medicinal properties in treating a wide range of sicknesses and conditions, and that application is still well-known to this day, with countless sources to buy Echinacea herbs from.
