Echinacea is a group of
flowering plants in the daisy family. Commonly called cone flowers, Echinacea are
among the most durable and beautiful garden flowers and will make a great
addition to your perennial beds. Echinacea comes from the Greek word echinos
meaning hedgehog, in reference to the coneflower’s spiny center. Coneflowers
like sunny locations, with well-drained soil, so add amendments such as Sheep,
Peat and Compost to improve your soil. Work in some bone meal at the same time. You can expect your coneflowers to bloom
well into fall, attracting bees and butterflies. Here are some of our top
coneflower selections for your summer garden
