| Pale purple coneflower differs from
the widely cultivated purple coneflower by narrow flower rays
that droop downward. Look for it on the wildflower trail in late
spring or early summer. |
Purple coneflower (Echinacea
purpurea) is widely available at local plant nurseries, but
gardeners will likely have to consult prairie nurseries or native
plant sales to find pale purple coneflower. |
