Echinacea - Pale Purple Coneflower (Echinacea pallida) Prairie Wildflower Flower

Perennial

Height 24 to 36 in 

Echinacea pallida, the pale purple coneflower, is a species of herbaceous perennial plant in the family Asteraceae. It is sometimes grown in gardens and used for medicinal purposes. Its native range is the central region of the United States and Ontario, Canada

The Purple Coneflower and the Pale Purple Coneflower are difficult to tell apart. The Pale Purple Coneflower blooms 2 to 3 weeks earlier. The leaves are longer and narrower, and are also hairier, lighter green, and tend to be at the base of the plant.

Blooms from late spring to midsummer, this attractive upright perennial is worthy of a place in pollinator gardens, perennial borders, prairies, or wildflower gardens. May reach  24 to 36 in. tall (60-90 cm) and 12 to 18 in. wide (30-45 cm).
