ECHINACEA (CONEFLOWER) Sun to part shade Zone 3-9 Praised for their large, daisy-like flowers which appear from mid through late summer, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. If deadheaded, the bloom cycle will be extended. However, some spent blooms should be left on the plants in fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter. Echinacea attract butterflies like no other plant' FUN FACT: The word "echinacea" comes from the Greek word "echinos" meaning "hedgehog", referring to the flower's spiky central cone.

It grows about three feet tall in the landscape, making it a good choice for the middle of the flower border. Praised for their cheerful brightly colored flowers, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden.
