Perennial
Magnus' purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Magnus') is a long-blooming native perennial with hefty flowers a top sturdy stems reaching up to 3ft tall! The rich purple/pink color attracts pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and the nectar-rich center is practically a buffet that makes them stay. Gorgeous blooms fall away, leaving exposed seed heads providing a late-season food source to birds as temperatures cool.
Coneflowers are also deer- and drought-resistant and incredibly low-maintenance, perfect for beginner gardeners. We can't say enough about this superstar perennial!
