Tennessee Coneflower – Echinacea Tennesseensis

Description

It is on the Federal Endangered Species list, so is a great plant to play “Johnny Appleseed” with and a gift back to your community. This echinacea is a more star like and very striking flower, with clean and neat foliage. The color is so nice as well. This particular plant will appreciate having dry-ish soils and will actually do well in shallow and rocky soils, once established. This used to be wide spread throughout the prairie, but is now vanishing due to pesticide spray drift.
