purple coneflower blooms in late summer with purple-pink petals surrounding brilliant orange cones. A wonderful plant to naturalize in the garden or planted in mass for a powerful and colorful statement in August.

Butterflies and bees love the nectar of the flowers and goldfinches can’t help but flock to the seeds during the fall.
