Perennial 300-365 days to first flower Echinacea purpurea

HEIRLOOM Easy to grow and deeply medicinal, did you know Echinacea’s petals are also edible, lovely to toss in salads all summer? Beneficial pollinators flock to their bright blooms on long, strong 3+ foot stalks ideal for bouquets. Native to our mid-western prairies, Echinacea thrives once established without much care for years with roots easily divided to propagate more.

We toss their beautiful magenta petals on cakes, salads, curry and sushi all summer and echinacea is also deeply medicinal, well known for increasing immune function. The most medicinal part of the plant is the 2-year root followed by her seeds and then leaves; we make an Echinacea root-seed tincture that we take at the first sign of a cold.
