Common Name: Pale Purple Coneflower
Features delicate large, solitary daisy-like flowers with distinct reddish brown cones which are surrounded by drooping pale purple ray florets in late spring through mid summer. Conspicuous blossoms held above tall, feathery light green stems streaked with purple. This striking cultivar is a favorite nectar source of butterflies and hummingbirds. Grows at slow rate with 5 ft high at maturity in dense, upright growth habit. Best bloom in full sun exposure but tolerates partial sun in rich, moist, well-drained soil. A great cut flower and accent.
