Purple Coneflower Seedling

Purple Coneflower Seedling

Bold, beautiful, and beneficial, Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) is one of the most beloved native perennials for pollinators and herbalists alike. Its daisy-like purple blooms with spiky orange centres add colour and texture to gardens while supporting bees, butterflies, and birds.

🪴 Plant Details

• Hardy perennial native to North America
• Large, purple-pink blooms with orange-brown centres
