The Immune Powerhouse
Purple coneflower is one of the most popular medicinal herbs in the Western world. Native Americans used it for more ailments than any other plant. Today it is best known for immune support, though research on its effectiveness is mixed.
Medicinal Uses
Immune support: Traditionally taken at the first sign of cold or flu to reduce severity and duration.
Wound healing: Native Americans used it extensively for wounds, burns, and infections.
Root is strongest: The roots contain the highest concentration of active compounds.
Garden Beauty
Beyond medicine, echinacea is a stunning garden plant. The large daisy-like flowers with raised central cones bloom for months. Butterflies adore them. The dried seed heads provide winter interest and food for goldfinches.
Growing Echinacea
This tough native perennial thrives in poor soil and drought once established. It needs full sun for best flowering. Do not deadhead if you want to attract birds – they love the seeds. Plants live for many years and slowly expand into impressive clumps.
