Overview

Coneflowers (Echinacea sp.) are hardy perennials offering a striking display of vibrant, daisy-like flowers with raised, cone-shaped centers. Typically reaching 2-4 feet in height, they thrive in full sun to light shade and prefer well-draining soil. Their blooms, in hues from purple to pink and white, are a magnet for butterflies and bees, providing a dynamic element to any garden. Blooming from early summer to fall, they add long-lasting color and texture.
