Purple Coneflower Seeds (Echinacea purpurea)

Add lasting beauty and pollinator appeal to your garden with Purple Coneflower. This beloved native perennial produces striking 3-inch rose-purple blooms with prominent coppery centers that attract butterflies, bees, and songbirds. The long-lasting flowers are perfect for fresh bouquets, dried floral arrangements, and herbal tea gardens.

Purple Coneflower thrives in full to partial sun, grows 2–3 feet tall, and blooms throughout the summer. For best germination, seeds benefit from cold stratification in a moist, sterile medium before planting indoors, or they can be sown outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
