Perennial native cultivar plant

Notes:  In the Mt. Cuba Center pollinator cultivar  trials, this was the only coneflower cultivar to rate a perfect 5 stars out of the 75 species on trial.  It closely resembles the straight Echinacea purpurea so it looks very natural in your garden landscape as opposed to the other modern cultivars. It is an extremely good pollinator, and goldfinches and other birds eat its seeds.

Resistant to deer
