Overview

The Pale Purple Coneflower, Echinacea pallida, is a resilient perennial treasured for its slender, drooping lavender petals and prominent, cone-shaped, pale pink centers. It typically reaches 2 to 3 feet in height and spreads up to 18 inches wide. This drought-tolerant native thrives in full sun to light shade and well-drained soils, attracting pollinators while adding vertical interest to prairie-style and wildflower gardens. Blooms adorn the plant from early to late summer.
