Echinacea seeds — coneflowers for pollinators and prairies

Echinacea, the coneflower, is a tough, long-lived perennial with bold daisy flowers and raised central cones — a mainstay of prairie-style planting and a magnet for bees and butterflies. The classic purple coneflower is gathered under Echinacea purpurea within our flower seed range. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide covers the basics.

Echinacea is a hardy perennial sown for years of bloom — the calendar shows the timing.

Built for wildlife and the long term

The nectar-rich flowers are superb for pollinators and bees, while the seed heads feed finches into winter and look handsome left standing. As a come-back-every-year plant it belongs among our perennial flowers, and the long stems are good for cutting.

Growing echinacea from seed

Sow in spring; a period of cold can improve germination, and seedlings establish into tough, drought-tolerant plants once settled. Give them full sun and well-drained soil, and they'll return and bulk up for years.
