Description
This is 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 colormaker in perennial borders. Magnus, this hybrid, is a bit shorter than the native plant, and the flower petals do not droop, as is often the case with the wildflowers.
You can easily grow this great native plant from our seed (See our Wildflower Seed Department) but to save a year or more, its really easy to plug in these plants.

As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds.

Yes. Absolutely.
"Easy to plant in the fall. Low maintenance. Beautiful blooms by mid June."
Looking tall and strong, about to flower!
"Planted 3 of these last fall in a sunny spot, where am hoping to grow a butterfly-bee garden. Wasn't sure if they'd survived the winter, we had lows of -14F and 4 feet of snow, and they were very slow to come up in the Spring. But, now July, all 3 are doing great, super strong and healthy, and about to bloom. Am very very happy with them!"
Blooming Nicely
"Nice plant, bloomed the first year."
Drought tolerant winner
"This plant endured some brutal sun and drought conditions last summer and still bloomed heavily. A big winner in my book."
Beautiful plants
"They are starting to bloom,they are healthy. Need to get more of this"
Given our cold spring the plant is alive!
"The plant is doing well despite our cold spring. This attest to the fact the plant is indeed cold hardy!"
