Its large rosy-purple petals surround a prominent coppery-orange cone, creating a bold display full of texture and contrast that blooms for months during the heart of summer. The flowers rise above sturdy stems and deep green foliage, bringing vibrant color and a classic prairie look to gardens of every size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile many gardeners recognize Purple Coneflower for its beauty, its durability is just as impressive. It tolerates heat, drought, clay soils, and neglect once established, making it one of the easiest native plants to grow.

After flowering, the seed heads become an important food source for goldfinches and other songbirds, which often perch on the stems to pick out seeds well into winter. Its combination of nectar, pollen, and seeds makes it one of the most wildlife-friendly plants in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlooms Alongside:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/common-bee-balm-monarda-fistulosa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ewild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/dense-blazing-star-liatris-spicata\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDense blazing star (liatris spicata)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/anise-hyssop-agastache-foeniculum\"\u003eanise hyssop (\u003cspan\u003eAgastache foeniculum\u003c\/span\u003e)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/rattlesnake-master-eryngium-yuccifolium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003erattlesnake master (Eryngium yuccifolium)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/butterfly-weed-asclepias-tuberosa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ebutterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/stiff-goldenrod-oilgoneuron-rigidum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003estiff goldenrod (Solidago rigidum)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor more information, please check out our \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/pages\/sizes-and-pricing\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003esizes, pricing and ordering page\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pretty Wild","offers":[{"title":"Plug","offer_id":45584654139571,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Quart","offer_id":45584654172339,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/0633\/1827\/files\/PXL_20240720_114937225_1c1d0306-e87d-4890-9999-73dda53aa5d8.jpg?v=1781810516","url":"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/purple-coneflower-echinacea-purpurea","provider":"Pretty Wild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
