Purple Coneflower Texas

Echinacea sanguinea

Sanguine purple coneflower is a native perennial wildflower of prairies and open woodlands across the southern United States, grown for its drooping pale-pink to dark-pink petals surrounding a dark central cone. A single unbranched stem carries one flower per plant, rising from a deep taproot that reaches moisture well below the surface and gives strong drought tolerance once established. Bees, butterflies and other pollinators visit the blooms, and the ripened seed heads draw seed-eating birds through summer.
