The iconic coneflower bloom is a welcome addition to just about any garden style. The pale coneflower has gentle, pinkish-purple blooms which are displayed in early summer. The petals are generally narrower than its relative the purple coneflower (echinacea purpurea) and often have a downward droop. A long-lived, hardy perennial with a deep taproot, which enables drought tolerance once established. Attractive to pollinators and butterflies.
