Older Varieties Of Coneflowers That Seed And Birds Like

Question

Hi, I want to plant some older varieties of Coneflowers that seed and that birds like. Can you provide the names and where to purchase these plants? Thanks

Answer 1

We don't recommend plant vendors but you can look for native plant vendors in your area who will have the native forms of coneflower that birds like. They do reseed easily so be sure they are planted in an area where they can expand. They also grow easily from seed, though they may not flower the first season. Be sure to get the native form, echinacea purpurea, and not a cultivar.
