Do you like the ease of adding low-maintenance perennials to your garden? If so, purple coneflower might be the perfect plant for you. There are so many pluses to this native plant that effortlessly combines vivid color, hassle-free care, and value for wildlife.
It is tough, can survive in almost any soil, and is drought-tolerant once established. You get two months-plus of colorful, beautiful blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, followed by architectural seed heads that feed birds through winter. That is a lot of ticks in many different boxes.
