Echinacea, commonly known as the Purple Coneflower, is a must-have for any heirloom garden. This hardy perennial is as tough as it is beautiful, featuring striking purple-to-pink petals and prominent coppery-orange centers. At The Seed Guy, our Echinacea seeds are Non-GMO and open-pollinated, offering a reliable, long-blooming flower that serves a dual purpose: stunning ornamental beauty and a legendary history as a medicinal powerhouse.
Why Echinacea belongs in every homestead garden:
• Natural Immune Support: Echinacea is one of the most respected medicinal herbs in the world. Traditionally used to support the immune system and promote wellness during the cold and flu season, the roots and flowers can be used for home-brewed teas and tinctures, making it a cornerstone of any "Physic Garden."
• Pollinator Powerhouse: The unique, cone-shaped centers are absolute magnets for butterflies, especially Monarchs and Swallowtails, as well as honeybees. By planting Purple Coneflower, you are providing a high-quality nectar source that lasts from mid-summer all the way into the early fall.
• Pest Deterrence & Garden Health: These flowers are remarkably resilient. They are naturally deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established. Additionally, their presence attracts predatory insects that help keep common garden pests in check, protecting your surrounding vegetable crops.
• The Gift of Seed: Because these are heirloom seeds, the Purple Coneflower will often self-seed, and the dried seed heads provide a vital winter food source for goldfinches and other songbirds.
Echinacea is a low-maintenance beauty that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Whether you are looking to add a splash of color to your perennial borders or you want to start your own home apothecary, these seeds provide the vigor and reliability you expect.
