This is one of the latest hybrids of the famous plains native called Purple Coneflower, but better known today by its botanical name:
Echinacea. For years before it was a favorite of the herbal medicine industry, it was always one of the loveliest wildflowers on the plains.
This large pink-to-purple daisy is a mainstay of all well-grown wildflower meadows, and is also a major color maker in perennial borders. Now you have your choice of the same tough, dependably perennial hybrids in a whole range of colors...and as this one shows you, variable flower forms.
