| A terrific selection of our native Purple Coneflower. This is compact and bushy in habit, making it ideal for edging, containers, or towards the front of a sunny border. Flowers are mauve-pink with an orange cone, the petals drooping gracefully. Removing faded flowers regularly will greatly increase the flowering period. Seedheads have good winter interest. Outstanding for cutting. Attractive to butterflies. Proving to be a very versatile plant with a multitude of uses. USPP#12242: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
