Purple coneflowers are hardy and easy to grow.
The stalks are two to three feet tall and have light purple flowers with
red brown centers that are cone shaped. The plants are drought resistant
and enjoy full sun to very light shade. Any soil will do as long as it doesn't
gets soggy.
They bloom in late summer or early fall, and bloom for three weeks.
The leaves are coarse, hairy, and dark green. Coneflowers that have yellow or white
blooms are available.
New coneflowers are usually started from dividing clumps in the spring
and fall. Clumps that are overcrowded should be divided every three years.
New plants can be found at garden centers in the spring. Coneflower can also
be started from seeds.
Coneflowers are the source of the herbal rememedy echinacea. Video on Growing ConeflowerEchinacae purpurea Please search here and click on Google ads to support this site.
