Strong, sculptural, and loved by pollinators, Echinacea purpurea produces large, daisy-like blooms with rosy-purple petals surrounding bold, bronze-orange cones. Flowering over a long summer season, its sturdy stems and striking form make it as valuable in the border as it is in the vase. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance once established, it’s a perennial favourite for both beauty and resilience.
Best for: Pollinator gardens, prairie-style plantings, long-lasting cuts, summer borders.
Approx 30 seeds per packet
