Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), like many native perennials, has a long season of interest in the garden or prairie. The seed heads are favorite treats of the eye-catching Goldfinch. I purposely leave clusters standing until the hearty seeds are blown loose or consumed.
For more information on the Purple Coneflower see prior posts: “You’ve got personality…” and “Two of a kind…”.
