Echinacea Purple Coneflower Plant Info
Purple Coneflowers are easy to plant and suitable for all types of gardeners. These tough perennials prefer well-drained soil and full sun, although they tolerate shade. When planting, make a hole large enough for the roots, grow the plant, and cover it with soil and water. Once established, these plants are drought-tolerant and easy to maintain, requiring just regular watering when the weather is dry and periodic deadheading to maintain a constant flowering habit.
Seasonal Blooms and Color Changes Of The Purple Coneflower Plant
Purple Coneflowers open their blooms from late summer until late fall, ensuring you have a year-round color supply. Their signature daisy-like blooms have purple-pink petals surrounding a coppery-orange center cone. Once the flowers open up, their seed heads attract birds, particularly finches, to your garden even after they’ve closed. The lush leaves remain green throughout the season, creating a vivid background for the flowers.
Shape and Longevity of Echinacea Plants
These upright and clumping perennials reach 2 to 4 feet tall. Their strong stems and colorful blooms make them perfect for cut flower bouquets. Purple Coneflowers are incredibly resilient, coming back year after year to brighten your garden with little fuss.

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.

Off to a great start!
I’m sad to say that my first order of the hepatica plant, I believe to be dead only due to my lack of attention to its preferred habitat. However, my second order arrived and actually had leaves on them still and they are off to a great start! I’m excited to see the flowers!!
