Echinacea Purpurea (AKA Purple Coneflower) is a highly regarded blood purifier used in the treatment of diseases caused by impurities. It is believed to increase bodily resistance to infection by strengthening the immune system. The best reason to include Echinacea in your garden is for its singularly beautiful flower, with delicate pastel-purple petals radiating from the prominent red-orange center, which continues to bloom from July to September.

This very popular herb prefers loose, sandy soil, but will do fine in clay if given time. This wild flower is fairly slow to establish, but given time is extremely hardy. Looks like a large pink black-eyed susan and makes a great cutflower or meadow flower. Attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds and resistant to deer.
