Echinacea angustifolia

Narrow leaf Coneflower

North American native Echinacea angustifolia is a drought-tolerant perennial common to meadows, prairies, and grassland areas throughout the United States. Raspberry-pink, daisy-like flowers with globular chestnut brown centers begin to appear in June and often continue blooming into August, followed by upright seedheads that are enjoyed by songbirds, especially American Goldfinches. Known commonly as Narrow-leaf Coneflower for its narrow, lanceolate foliage, the hairy leaves are basal in nature, with the wiry, stiff stems of the inflorescences protruding upright. Long-revered for its use in Native American medicine, Echinacea angustifolia makes for a colorful addition to the medicinal garden, or to the pollinator garden where its nectar is sure to be enjoyed by a variety of native bees and butterflies. Narrow-leaf coneflower benefits from well-drained soils and full sun conditions, and it is capable of handling difficult growing conditions such as drought, clay, and shallow, rocky soils.
