Description
Tennessee Purple Coneflower, Echinacea tennesseensis, has beautiful daisy-shaped flowers that grow facing eastwards. Their shape makes them a unique and striking Coneflower, in addition to being a butterfly and bee magnet. They are also particularly deep rooted, which makes them drought tolerant and easy to grow in hot, dry conditions.
Native to the 14-mile wide limestone cedar glade near Nashville, Tennessee Purple Coneflower was listed as critically endangered by the US Fish & Wildlife Service in 1979, only the second plant ever added. Happily, 32 years of public and private conservation efforts led to Tennesee Purple Coneflower being removed from the list in 2011. Now you can grow this beautiful native wildflower in your own garden or meadow, and ensure that Tennessee Purple Coneflowers continue to thrive!
Tennessee Purple Coneflower was featured 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.

Wish they had sprouted. . . maybe next year
"Some of the seeds are still germinating. We have a warm few days and I have blooms. The sun flowers were the prettiest in all varieties. . . glad they're perennials"
