Echinacea, Coneflower - Echinacea purpurea - Vivid pink, butterfly magnet - Bare root - 1 pc

Purple coneflower is an absolute classic of summer borders. Its large pink-purple flowers have a strongly raised, spiky centre, with the petals falling downwards to form a small parasol shape. The thick, rough stems hold these flower heads upright with ease, even in stronger winds. At the base, the plant forms a dense clump of dark green leaves. It flowers very abundantly throughout the second half of summer, and its prominent centres act as a real magnet for butterflies and bees.
