Pale Purple Coneflower

Echinacea pallida

Pale Purple Coneflower is beloved for its unique and charming blooms, which have long, narrow petals that elegantly droop down from a spiky, cone-shaped center. The flowers range in color from soft pink to light purple and bloom from late spring to mid-summer. Standing up to 3 feet tall, its delicate appearance contrasts beautifully with other more robust perennials in prairie plantings, wildflower meadows, or pollinator gardens.

Ecological Benefits

Maintenance Tips

  • Drought-tolerant once established; water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots.
  • Deadhead to encourage additional blooming and to maintain a neat appearance or leave seedheads in place to feed birds later in the year.
  • Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early spring to promote growth and propagation.
