Purple Coneflower Magnus (Echinacea Purpurea Magnus) - This stunning coneflower was named the 1998 Perennial Plant of the Year! A well-behaved plant with bold six-inch wide, reddish-pink flowers. Attracts butterflies; perfect for the informal, nature-inspired garden. Excellent cut flower and perfect for xeriscape landscaping where water conservation is important.
Magnus is a distinctive, vigorous and large growing cone flower cultivar. The bright reddish-pink petals of its huge flowers are held flat as they radiate out from the cone, instead of curving backwards as is typical of most coneflowers.
Common Questions
Does echinacea need full sun?
The echinacea plant grows best in full or partial sun. Give the plant at least six hours of sun a day.
Do I need to deadhead my coneflowers?
Yes, to keep your purple coneflowers blooming you need to deadhead them as they fade.
Will echinacea spread?
Echinacea spreads because it is naturally self-seeding, but only if you do not deadhead the blooms. If you don't want it to spread too much, you will need to weed out the volunteer seedlings.
Do I need to divide my plants?
Coneflowers all become dense, and root bound over time causing blooms to be sparse. Dig up, divide and replant every 3 – 4 years to keep your plants thriving.
