Add a beauty with benefits to your garden when you grow Bonnie Plants® Purple Coneflower. The large, pretty, purple blooms of coneflowers look lovely in beds and bouquets—but they also attract pollinators. Companion plant coneflowers among vegetables and watch the bees and butterflies arrive to help pollinate your crops. Coneflowers even attract predatory insects that control pests, like aphids and tomato hornworms. Plus, you’ve probably heard of the health benefits of Echinacea—the Latin name for coneflowers—in boosting immunity. Enjoy a cup of homegrown tea while you stroll through your garden. Purple Coneflower grows beautifully in raised beds, containers, or in-ground gardens. Plant outdoors in spring after danger of frost has passed, and space plants 18 to 24 inches apart. Purple Coneflower prefers full to partial sun and consistently moist, well-drained soil. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and feed it regularly with Miracle-Gro® Plant Food. With more than 100 years of experience, Bonnie Plants® offers high-quality live plant varieties designed for your gardening success.
