Coneflower, Pale Purple

Echinacea pallida

Native to the Eastern and Midwestern United States south to Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia, this coneflower is found in limestone glades, oak savannas, fields, prairies, and along railroads. It is a low maintenance, adaptable plant that is tolerant of drought, heat, humidity, and poor soils. Plants freely self-seed if not deadheaded. The central taproot must be well-covered with soil to better survive  winter. Good as a cut flower and for tallgrass prairie mixes.
