Description Please click on any image to see a larger photo 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.
