Description
Wild Berry Echinacea is a compact freely branching native perennial with strong upright stems that do not need staking and deep green foliage. The large fragrant flowers with vibrant berry pink petals and red cones bloom through summer into fall. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
