Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) is a decorative and medicinal perennial with large pink-purple flowers and a prominent central cone. The roots and aerial parts are traditionally used to support the immune system. The plant is drought-resistant, prefers sun and well-drained soils, and flowers for a long period in summer. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, while the cones left over winter feed the birds. Echinacea is valued both in ornamental gardens and for its medicinal worth.
