Coneflower

Easy to grow and long-lived, the Coneflower (Echinacea) has a very hardy nature, proving resistant to environmental stresses, from heat and humidity to cold and drought. Coneflowers are impervious to most pests and diseases, sending up blooms in summer in a range of colors -- pink, white, yellow, orange, and more! -- and drawing in songbirds in the fall, which come to feast on their seed-filled cones. A truly lovely, trouble-free perennial for the sunny garden!
