This is a complete guide to Purple Coneflower, Echinacea purpurea. It covers the following information in detail:
- What is Echinacea purpurea
- What are the benefits of Purple Coneflower
- How do you ID, Grow, and Care for Echinacea purpurea
- Where does Coneflower grow best
- How to grow Coneflower from seed
- What are common wildlife, pests, and diseases that can effect Purple Coneflower
- What are some typical garden uses of Purple Coneflower
I show everything with examples, as I've been growing this flower for about 8 years. I've germinated hundreds of seeds, divided plants, and used this plant in a huge variety of gardens.
For Liquid Fence, see the link below (aff link). This stuff really works. You really only need to protect the plants when they are seedlings or young. In my experience, mature plants don't need protection about a month after 4-6 weeks from emerging in the Spring.

I love the bee house,I’m going to try that, thanks for the video.
Your are very welcome Lisa. Make sure you've got some long drill bits before you start. The holes should be at least 6" deep.
Wow, thank you. Best video on echinacea ever. I especially benefited from what the sprouts look like in spring.
You are very welcome! I'm glad I could help you out.
Great video I was able to regrow some from seed.
From the previous year.
Excellent - nice work Jonathan
Just subscribed, excellent programme. Thankyou
Thank you Amanda - I'm very happy you enjoyed it.
I just got some for my Japanese garden. Can't wait to see this come up. I've got fantastic heritage topsoil in my part of Maryland. I know this will do really well. Thanks for the great briefing!
Excellent - you are going to love them.
Great video! Thanks for showing what they look like when they emerge. Now I know what to look for! 🙌🏻
You're welcome! Figuring out what is a weed and what is not can be challenging sometimes. I'm pretty sure these are the only maroon colored plant that emerges outside of skunk cabbage - but nobody could possibly confuse those two plants!
Very interesting and one of the better presented introductions. Just subscribed. Thanks and blessings! p
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it.
Oh it's so aggravating to try and find good information on gardening. Thank you for this great video. I really appreciate your REFERENCED content! 💗
You are very welcome Wendy. I'm very happy you found it useful!
Thank you for doing this wonderful video. The fact that this plan,is easy to care for, tough and beautiful.
You are very welcome!
I just started following you. Your channel is the best I've seen on the topic of native plants.
Thank you Mitchell! I try to keep my quality as high as it can be.
Absolutely fantastic video Joe. Beautiful, brilliant and bountiful with useful information ;D greetings from Mexico
Thank you Owlex! Those are very kind words, and I'm glad you found it useful too!
Just found these videos. Love them. I am learning so much. I have started some echinacea from seed this year. This is helpful.
Thank you Brittany! I'm glad you are finding them helpful!
Just bought my first plant! Thank you for the most informative video on the subject!
Thank you June! Good luck with your Echinacea!
AWESOME video!! LOVE that you have a mason bee house!! BEAUTIFUL garden!!
Thank you John!
@@growitbuildit You're welcome! Bought a seed packet yesterday and will start them today! I need to keep them in larger pots since I don't have a yard due to renting an apartment!! Thanks again for the GREAT videos you make!!
I am happy I found your channel. So informative . I love the purple coneflower especially for a cut flower .
I'm happy you are enjoying my videos Elizabeth!
great video, thank you. The Coneflower is also one of my favourite pollinator plant
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you so very much, I do love my cone flowers. I’m going to have to pay attention to calendars for the white ones and the red ones though. Thank you and God bless you.
You are very welcome Steven - good luck!
I love your videos. It’s so educational and because of this video, I now own a large purple cone flower plant.
Thank you! That makes me happy to hear! Congrats!
Great information! I especially love the detailed images of the sprouts emerging in the spring & what the plant looks like for identification purposes.
You're welcome Heather. Nobody wants to accidentally weed there flowers!
Thank you for all the information. Easy to understand and fast. Very simple instructions for every step. I wish all would do this!!😀
Excellent - that is what I'm going for Kathern
Thanks for sharing!! Will be using this for reference while I try to grow mine! (:
You are welcome -good luck getting started
I referred to this video repeatedly as I started 16 purple coneflowers in a new garden bed last year.
I started seeds under a grow light 02/01, transplanted in early May in a spot with 4 hours of direct sun, and half of my plants flowered last year. They exceeded my expectations. The tree that shaded in the afternoon was removed this winter, and I’m excitedly anticipating the productivity in year 2 with full sun.
This is by far my favorite kind of comment to read - Great Work Lukas!
@@growitbuildit The coneflower were exceptional this year. Tons of bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and goldfinches. I was also able to transplant about 2 dozen volunteers from the bed and distributed them to friends and coworkers after they rooted through the 3" cups. The only native perennial which attracted more pollinators were my Monarda Fistulosa, which I drew heavily on your videos to grow successfully. You've done a great service!
Excellent work Lukas! I'm very happy to hear about your results. Sounds like you've got a very busy garden!
I was hoping you had them growing in this same spot with the 4 hours of direct sunlight for a couple years. Im curious as how they do with just 4 hours. One of the locations I want to plant these will be in the shade for a much of the day and will on receive 5 hours once noon hits.
Thank you so much for sharing. I just purchased my seeds and the information you provided is very helpful and appreciated.
You are very welcome, and good luck!
Awesome thanks 🙏
You are very welcome!
Thanks! This was very helpful!
You are welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you so much Ann!
Fantastic video!
Thank you Joy!
For making such a thorough video with good explanations and thank you for actually talking and not just having text over your video. I also appreciate not having loud annoying music playing the entire time I’m trying to get information from a video. I’m subscribing and liking thanks mister!
Thank you! I'm very happy you enjoyed it!
Easily one of the two best gardening channels on CZcams!
Thank you sir!
Great video and information how to care foe echinacea. Really helpful for beginner like me.
Thank you Belen - I'm very happy I could help you out!
Well, I believe today is the first time I’ve watched your channel, and I’m binge-watching! I subscribed after watching the first video, and I’m not sure how many more I’ve watched. I appreciate that you share so much information and that you do so in such an organized manner. I plan on visiting your website in the very near future. A million thanks!
Thank you! I'm happy you are liking the videos. We've got a lot of info on our website too...more info in fact. But I'm glad you are liking our content.
Great info. Thank you.
You are very welcome Lynn!
This is the best video I've had watched about this plant. I fell in love with this plant last year and decided I want to fill my yard with it. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed it.
I watched this video a few weeks ago and came back to watch it again. I have picked up a packet of seed and don't want to fail. Thank you. Purple Cone Flowers are one of my very favorites.
I'm happy to hear that Calli - best of luck! You are going to do just fine.
Very informative video... thank you sir
Thank you Travis - glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent, thank you. 👌💕
You are very welcome Mary!
Been trying to grow this well for a few years and this video taught me so much! Thank you for sharing so much detailed information on the plant. I subscribed!
Thank you - I'm very happy I was able to help you! Good luck!
@@growitbuildit Thank you!
Thank you! Your knowledge plus your obvious appreciation for the plants, pollinators, and birds is just fantastic! (I wanted to plant cone flower before I knew bees would nap on it - now I desperately need it!)
You are quite welcome Lauren! Thank you for the kind words. This is arguably the best native perennial to grow.
I’m going to give this a try
Good luck Brennan - it's a great plant.
Thanks, Joe. I'm newly subscribed; you caught me with your Butterfly Weed video and now Purple Cone Flower. One detail I greatly appreciate is to see what the plant looks like when it is first emerging in spring and as a seedling. Thanks again!
You are very welcome Joan. I'm you are finding the info helpful. Nobody wants to accidentally weed there flowers!
I need this! Thank you. I have a packet of seeds I just bought.
You are welcome!
Such good information. I did not know that other varieties are not useful for pollinator gardens.
My speculation is that it comes down to their visible light spectrum, and how different colors reflect them differently. If you change the color of the flower, the bee just may not be able to see it.
I love your channel, there's so much information! I was stratisfying my seeds for no reason.
I'm going with the regular pink purple ones, I like them the most anyways and I definitely want to attract pollinators. Thanks!
Thank you Holly! I'm glad you're liking the videos we put out. I try to make them worth your time!
No worries on stratifying. I can't think of a situation where it could actually harm seed, but it's useful to know that for this particular species it isn't required.
Thank you ☺️!
You are welcome Barbara!
Thanks! I have one that grows out of a crack between my house and driveway it was there when I bought the house now I have about 7 plants that popped up growing threw the river rock that I have in my yard .
That is awesome - finally a native plant that can compete with Dandelions for driveway crack space! But these flowers are awesome.
Very good information ❤❤❤❤❤ thanks
You are very welcome!
I love the unexpected statistical analysis in this video. Subscribed!
Haha - you're welcome! I'm glad you liked it. It just made sense for that little experiment.
i just bought me some cone flowers today, i just love them and yes bees
Congrats and good luck!
Fantastic video man thanks for sharing! I’m in northern Virginia and I think you seem to be near (mentioning Old Rag). This is the champion flower of our area!
Hi Matt - I'm in Southern PA. Old Rag is just about the single best hike I've ever done. And I absolutely love Shenandoah! The only other hike that can compete is on Massanutten - Duncan & Strickler Knob as a large loop.
@@growitbuildit I have done that Massanutten loop that one is awesome too. Thanks again for your video it was really helpful.
Thank you so much. I’m a newbie gardener, 2nd year and I saw these plants last year after leaving a restaurant on Fathers Day and fell in love. I have seeds and roots and really wrote down many thins you said about this Purple Coneflower because I really want to be successful with it. You gave lots of to start with. I have the space to plant. Many thanks and blessings to you! 🙏🏽🙌🏼 And, I subscribed. 🥰🙌🏼
Thank you Ms. Naz! This is a great perennial to get started with, as it is very versatile. Good luck!
This is such a detailed and informative video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a wonderful video. I am learning to grow flowers in my garden this year to bring in pollinators and and this type of video is so helpful.
Thank you! I'm glad I can help you out
This is my first time to your channel... I just start Gardening last year so I am researching a ton I was given this pack of seeds with others for Xmas from my kids..hadno clue what it was .. I have spent my Saturday morning watching 5 of your video you covered each packet I had gotten ... well informed thank you... was sad to learn I won't see the flowers till the second year but still excited to start this from seeds and I have a tone of property so much more planting to come
Thank you! I'm glad you find the information helpful. Don't get discouraged Julia - it is worth the wait. Pack your garden tight to help keep the weeds down. Many of the perennials you can move around if it gets 'too close for comfort'. Just make sure you don't move them when in bloom.
