Echinacea has been used as medicine for centuries to help aid colds, cases of flu, and even treat skin irritations.

As the root of Purple Echinacea can be harvested the following year, the leaves and sweet daisy-like flowers can be picked during its first season if planted early. Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun. An adaptable plant that is tolerant of drought, heat, humidity, and poor soil. Plants usually re-bloom without deadheading, however, immediate removal of spent flowers improves general appearance.

Keep moist. Once the plants are up, thin to 1 foot spacing after the second set of leaves has formed. Purple Coneflower likes full sun, plenty of water, rich, well-drained, and limey soil. Freely self-seeds if at least some of the seed heads are left in place. Makes a good fresh cut or dried flower. The dead flower stems will remain erect well into the winter and, if flower heads are not removed, are often visited by goldfinches.

Echinacea is derived from the Greek word "echinos" meaning hedgehog in reference to the spiny center cone. Once your echinacea reaches full maturity in either late spring or the following year to harvest the root, your plants will grow fuchsia-colored petals bold with a sweet flavor. Purple Coneflower provides a tingly, floral taste. Reap the medicinal benefits of echinacea flowers during its summer blooming season or just before winter. Echinacea has traditionally been used to treat or prevent colds, flu, and other infections.
