Description
Purple coneflower has always been a star in plains plantings. It is tough, great for cutting, and one of our most beautiful native wildflowers. Once plants with their dark green, deeply-veined leaves are established, it can be the most important color-maker in a mature meadow in mid-season. But today, it has even further importance. Under its botanical genus name, Echinacea, it has gained worldwide popularity as the No. 1 herbal medicinal. Long a favorite of Native Americans in treating snakebite, echinacea today is used in tablet and other forms to ward off colds and flus, and even to support the immune system. Millions of Americans now take pills or potions containing echinacea daily.
Echinacea purpurea was featured as a Pollinator Favorite in a Mt Cuba Center Trial Garden Research Report. These reports evaluate native plants and related cultivars for horticultural and ecological value, highlighting the ecosystem services they provide.

"Seeded in garden. Waiting for bloom time"
thanks
"thanks"
Would Not Purchase Again
"Unfortunately none of these seeds germinated for me! I tried three different methods to start these, but no luck on these."
Latin or Scientific for Authentic Native Species
"I began integrating native species to my landscapes in 2019. Today, I have 70% natives and 30% non-natives. When large companies sell authentic seeds to plants native to a region, it's good for the environment, butterflies, pollinators, and birds."
No dice
"I chose to plant purple coneflower from seed, because I wanted to fill a landscape bed, seeds are the way to go without much investment, and these were reportedly easy to grow from seed. Well, no dice. Not one sprouted. I planted according to instructions, and I watered every day."
Definitely would recommend
"A new road was constructed adjacent to my land and though the developer was supposed to re-grade along the road on my property, install topsoil and plant good grass, they just bulldozed the the area leaving it full of clay clumps and rocks and left. Since I live in a rural area and have several acres of nicely landscaped yard, I decided to just plant a meadow for the birds and bees. . . anyway, I bought some mixed grass seeds and a selection of of perennial wildflowers, including Purple Coneflower. I didn't do any preparation to the soil (hard clump clay) other than pick out the biggest rocks. I literally just threw handfuls of seeds onto the hard clay last fall and walked away figuring nothing would happen. Amazingly, everything I bought from American Meadows grew,. . . Coneflower, Daisy, Lupine, Black Eyed Susan and Phlox. I live in the country outside Nashville so I would recommend any of these varieties for a southeast garden"
Not a single one came up.
"I have planted lots of different wildflower seeds from this company. Zinnias and black eyed Susan's we're by far the most successful. Lupine came up here or there but none bloomed. These didn't even come up. ☹️"
Love wildflowers
"When older plants die I just add the wildflower seeds. So easy and beautiful"
Awesome product that grows profusely!
"Great for filling large areas."
Beautiful flowers!!
"I mixed these seeds with black eyed susan's and planted them together. . . What a beautiful sight in my wildlife garden! Love!!!"
