Purple Coneflower Live Plant – Echinacea purpurea – Native Pollinator Perennial – Zones 3–9

The Native Perennial That Does It All

Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) is one of the most versatile and beloved native perennials in North American gardens. Bold rosy-purple daisy-like petals surround a spiky orange-bronze cone that attracts butterflies and bees all summer, then feeds goldfinches and other seed-eating birds through fall and winter when the seed heads are left standing.

Beyond its garden value, Echinacea has a long history of medicinal and herbal use — it's one of the most widely used herbal supplements in the world. Plants are long-lived, drought tolerant once established, and naturally deer and rabbit resistant. They thrive in average to poor soils and require minimal care once established.
