Echinacea- Purple Cone Flower Seeds- Organic

Purple coneflower, or Echinacea purpurea is a native flower all along the east coast from Vermont to Florida and west to Colorado. It is a prairie staple and one of the more familiar native species to many of us. It is a drought tolerant perennial while also being deer resistant. The roots can be used to make a medicinal and delicious tea! The plant itself grows 3-4 feet tall and does best in 4-6+ hours of sun. Flowers bloom from summer until early fall and are followed closely behind by seed heads that act as a natural bird feeder through the crucial winter months. The flowers themselves are attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Several species of butterflies will also use this as a host plant, a place to lay their eggs and feed their caterpillars, including the silvery checkerspot and wavy-lined emerald. Songbirds, like chickadees, sparrows, and goldfinches, will dine on the seeds in fall until springtime when the seeds inevitably run out. 300 seeds per packet that
