'Rocky Top' Tennessee Coneflower is a nursery-grown selection of the rare native which was once on the Endangered Species list for wild plants.  Echinacea 'Rocky Top' was selected from a seed grown population because of its greater vigor and larger pink coneflowers with a more compact habit than the straight native.  The east-facing blooms appear above the long narrow leaves in June and July.  It grows best in sunny, well-drained sites.  This rare Southeastern native is a good source of food for both Goldfinches (seed) and butterflies (nectar).
