Native to the prairies of North America, Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) has become a staple of vibrant gardens. Its large purple corolla and elongated rays evoke the softness of a setting sunbeam, while its bright orange cone-shaped center attracts attention and life.

In the garden, this perennial acts as a sentinel, attracting a myriad of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, which find refuge and nectar on its abundant flowers. Resolutely robust and prolific, it integrates naturally into flowerbeds and wildflower meadows, providing stability and beauty well into autumn.
