Echinacea / Coneflower

Easy to grow and long-lived, the Echinacea / Coneflower has a very hardy nature, proving resistant to environmental stresses, from heat and humidity to cold and drought. Echinaceas / Coneflowers are impervious to most pests and diseases, sending up blooms in summer in a range of colors—pink, white, yellow, orange, and more—and in fall drawing in songbirds, which come to feast on their seed-filled cones. A truly lovely, trouble-free perennial for the sunny garden.
