ECHINACEA SEEDS

Echinacea purpurea

Echinacea root is gaining a wide reputation as a blood purifier that increases the immune system's ability to fight infections. It is also thought to inhibit certain viruses such as flu and herpes. Historically, Native Americans used Echinacea as an analgesic for treating toothaches and as an immune system stimulant for the treatment of colds and sore throats.

This prairie native has rose-purple 4-inch blooms with downward pointing petals and a prominent orange-tipped cone. It blooms from July-September and is a long lasting cut-flower. Echinacea is a tough, heat tolerant, easy to grow 3-foot perennial. A favorite flower of the Monarch butterfly. Winter hardy to zone 3.
