Pow Wow Wild Berry Echinacea

The Pow Wow® Wild Berry Coneflower is a compact and hardy perennial that grows back each spring. It blooms at around 2 feet tall, with many sturdy, branching flower stems rising from the base, carrying big daisy flowers that are a vibrant and bold purple-pink. Flowering begins in summer, and continues into the fall, brightening your beds and extending the flower season. Plant it in beds with shrubs or other flowering plants, in a cottage-style garden, or in wild and xeric gardens as well. Transform that rough, grassy corner of your yard into a prairie garden. Bees and butterflies love the flowers, and goldfinches eat the seeds if you don’t trim the flower heads until spring.

• Vibrant berry-pink flowers from mid-summer on
• Petals are horizontal, rather than drooping
• Tough and reliable, even in poor, dry soils
• Perfect in all types of gardens, from formal to wild
• Easy to grow and needs virtually no attention

Full sun suits the Pow Wow® Wild Berry Coneflower best, but a little afternoon shade doesn’t hurt, especially in the hottest zones. It takes cold winters and hot, humid summers in its stride, and it’s drought tolerant once established. It grows the best in richer soils, but it is perfectly happy in poor ground, dry areas and urban soils. It must have good drainage, so avoid wet places. Pests and diseases rarely bother it and deer leave it alone. A simple annual cut-down is all the care it needs.
