Purple Coneflower

Echinacea purpurea is native to the North American prairie and one of my favorite Summer perennials. This wonderful sun lover needs very little care and is enjoyed for months. It's showy purplish-pink and white flowers attract butterflies and bees all Summer long. Followed by the seedpods that little songbirds and goldfinches love in late Summer. Then they reseed freely and become great passalong plants. Joyful Summer Coneflower :)
