Purple Coneflower Seeds (Organic)

Very Adaptable Echinacea

Purple Coneflower seeds are a smart choice for home gardeners and small-scale farmers seeking a dependable, low-maintenance perennial that supports pollinators and enriches the landscape. Native to the prairies of North America, this herbaceous plant is widely adaptable and thrives in USDA Zones 3 to 8. Its large purple blooms with coppery centers provide lasting color and attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects all summer long.

The plant performs best in moist, well-drained, fertile soil and full sun exposure. With its strong growth and resistance to drought once established, Purple Coneflower is a reliable staple in prepared garden beds, borders, or native plantings. It’s often used by herbalists and valued for both its beauty and resilience. Sow seeds directly into soil or start in pots. Plants grow to a mature height of 3 to 4 feet and should be spaced 1 to 2 feet apart for optimal airflow and growth.

Whether you're designing a pollinator strip, adding height to a perennial garden, or supporting a healthy ecosystem, Purple Coneflower is an easy-care plant with long-lasting ecological benefits.
