Features:
Attractive Flowering: Echinacea flowers bloom in a variety of colors such as purple, pink, white, and orange, with their prominent cone center drawing the eye.
Pollinator-Friendly: Known to attract bees, butterflies, and birds, making it an essential addition to a wildlife-friendly garden.
Medicinal Value: Echinacea is well-regarded for its use in herbal medicine, believed to support immune health.
Long-Lasting Blooms: Flowers continue to bloom over an extended period, from mid-summer into fall.
Hardy Plant: Echinacea is a durable plant, thriving in a variety of weather conditions, including drought.
Specifications:

Spacing: Space plants 18–24 inches (45–60 cm) apart to ensure proper air circulation and room to grow.
Sun Requirements: Prefers full sun but can tolerate some light shade.
Watering: Keep soil moist until germination. Once established, Echinacea is drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering in dry conditions.
Pruning & Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Cut back the plant in late fall after flowering ends.
Winter Care: Echinacea is winter-hardy in zones 3–9. In colder zones, mulch around the base to protect the roots during winter.
Growing Tips:
Echinacea thrives in dry, slightly acidic to neutral soil.
Once plants are established, they require minimal care and are excellent choices for drought-resistant or native plant gardens.
Pruning after the first flush of blooms can encourage further blooming and help maintain a tidy appearance.
