Purple Coneflower PowWow Wild Berry (Echinacea Purpurea PowWow Wild Berry) - PowWow Wild Berry is a drought tolerant purple coneflower that features large, deep rose-purple flowers in a floriferous bloom from early Summer to early Fall, sometimes with additional sporadic bloom until frost.
This variety is incredibly impressive for a seed grown Echinacea. This first year flowering perennial reportedly keeps on blooming without having to be deadheaded, though you may still want to trim back spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance. Attract birds and butterflies to your xeriscape flower garden with the beautiful purple coneflower plant.
2010 AAS Flower Winner - This AAS Winner differs from other coneflowers for flower color, branching, and plant size. The incredibly vivid deep rose-purple flowers retain color longer. This first-year flowering perennial has superior performance including a basal branching habit that results in more flowers per plant. Expect rapid and uniform flowering at a day length of 14 hours. Reaching a mid-height of 20 - 24 inches in the full sun garden, it will bloom continually without deadheading or grooming.
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.
