Echinacea purpurea

Description: a perennial wildflower native to the eastern U.S. and the only species of echinacea that can be reliably cloned from cuttings (though we grow ours from seed). Showy, long-blooming flowers in summer that can be deadheaded to promote further blooms or left standing to provide a source of seed for birds and wildlife over the winter. One of three species that is commonly used in traditional medicine and to produce herbal teas.

Height: to 4 ft. Spread: to 2 ft.
