Echinacea pallida | pale purple coneflower

Echinacea pallida blooms in early summer, attracting butterflies, bees, and parasitic wasps. Its recurved petals are thinner and lighter than those of the more common Echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower), bringing an elegant and airy grace to any meadow or garden. The mature seed heads persist on strong stems through winter, providing food for birds. Pale purple coneflower is a resilient species that withstands poor soil and root competition. It prefers to grow in full sun in well-drained soils and is drought tolerant once established.
