Description
Pale Purple Coneflower, Echinacea pallida, has stout stems, 2-4 ft. tall, that bear flowerheads of lavender, or rarely white, rays drooping from a large, spiny, cone-shaped center. Coarse-haired, narrowly lance-shaped leaves are attached to the plant near its base. Deer resistant, this Coneflower is easily established, though can become aggressive and shows off best when paired with native grasses.
