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.
