What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Bring beauty and resilience to your garden with Purple Coneflower Seeds (Echinacea purpurea) from Survival Garden Seeds. Native to North America, this hardy perennial wildflower features striking purple petals surrounding a raised, cone-shaped center that blooms from summer through fall. Adaptable and easy to grow, Purple Coneflower thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, providing color, pollinator support, and medicinal benefits season after season.

Beautiful, Beneficial, and Resilient:

  • Native wildflower with vibrant purple-pink blooms and distinctive cone centers
  • Attracts bees, butterflies, and other important pollinators
  • Drought-tolerant and deer-resistant once established
  • Grows as a perennial in zones 3–9 or an annual in colder regions
  • Ideal for pollinator gardens, borders, and naturalized landscapes

Traditional Medicinal Use:

  • Long valued for its immune-supporting and wellness-promoting properties*
  • Commonly used in herbal teas and tinctures, especially during cold season
  • Easy to grow for those cultivating a medicinal or wellness garden

How to Grow Purple Coneflower:

  • For best germination, cold stratify seeds before planting.
  • Wrap seeds in a damp paper towel, seal in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 2–3 weeks.
  • After stratification, sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed trays or directly outdoors in spring or fall.
  • Keep soil lightly moist until seedlings emerge, then water sparingly.
  • Enjoy blooms from midsummer through fall—plants self-seed naturally for future growth.

*For ornamental and educational purposes. Consult an expert before using medicinally.

Garden Favorite for Pollinators & Beauty:
Purple Coneflower is not only functional but also visually stunning. Its long-lasting blooms and easy-care nature make it a cornerstone of sustainable gardens, providing nectar for bees and butterflies while enhancing your landscape with lasting summer color.
