Echineacea purpurea
Erect perennial forming a tall mound of coarse dark-green leaves, by midsummer bearing large daisy flowers with vivid deep rose-purple flowers surrounding an orange-brown central cone. Removing faded flowers regularly will greatly increase the blooming period. Seedheads have good winter interest. Outstanding for cutting. Attractive to butterflies. Plants may be easily divided in early spring.
