Pale Purple Coneflower

A favourite nectar source for butterflies and hummingbirds, Pale Purple Coneflower produces large, showy flowers whose drooping pale pink petals sway gently in the breeze atop its 3 to 5 foot stalks in early summer. In the fall, birds love it for its seeds. Producing a strong tap-root, Echinacea pallida is a very long living plant and very drought tolerant.
