Native Pollinator Magnet with Medicinal Benefits!



All of our seeds are saved from our heirloom gardens here in the Southeast, where we focus on hardy, time-tested varieties that thrive in our region. These are open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds, carefully collected and stored to ensure strong germination. Whether you're looking to grow vibrant flowers, flavorful herbs, or reliable vegetables, these seeds carry generations of resilience and flavor.



Echinacea purpurea, also known as Purple Coneflower, is a hardy native wildflower known for its striking purple petals and golden center. A favorite among pollinators, this long-blooming perennial attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds while also serving as a well-known traditional herb. Easy to grow and drought-tolerant once established, Echinacea is a must-have for any garden, whether for its beauty, ecological benefits, or herbal uses.



Why Grow Echinacea Purpurea?

Pollinator-Friendly: Provides nectar for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, supporting a thriving garden ecosystem.

Hardy & Low Maintenance: This native perennial thrives in poor soil, withstands drought, and returns year after year with minimal care.

Traditional Herbal Uses: Echinacea has been used for centuries to support immune health. The roots, leaves, and flowers are all utilized in teas, tinctures, and salves.
