Echinacea - Magnus - Coneflower

I started my coneflower with a pack of seeds from the dollar store and a little greenhouse that I bought there also.I couldn`t believe all the seeds took. When I was transplanting it outside i just put them all together and ended up with one huge Coneflower that spread like crazy. We just moved to our new home and i brought it with me. Right now something is eating the leaves. ( earwigs i think) Anyway will see what it does this year. By the way i should have lots of seeds if it grows like it did last year

These bloom their little hearts out!  A favorite in my garden.

one of the most sturdy coneflowers.  the color is magenta and holds it well.  gold finches will feed off the seeds as the flowers matures.  very drought tolerant and selfsowing.  a good perennial for those wanting something easy to begin their first perennial garden with. 

easily reblooms w/deadheading, seedheads provide food for birds in winter, very drought hardy once established.  very nice border planting or at the back of the bed.
