Coneflower, Narrow-leaf (Echinacea angustifolia)

Perennial
A native North American plant, this coneflower was used widely by the Plains First Nations people for medicinal purposes. Often considered the most potent of the coneflowers for medicine, it is also a lovely garden plan with large purple blossoms in late summer to fall.

To grow: Full sun, average soil. Plant seeds 1/2” deep in spring. Blooms in July/August. To save seed, collect bristly brown seed heads when dry. Rub seeds out.
