Description

The listing, Purple Cone Flower Over 100 Seeds! has ended.

This plant has a long history of medicinal use by the Kiowa, who chewed the ground roots and swallowed the juice to alleviate coughs and sore throats.

"Purple coneflower is a rough, hairy perennial that stands up to 18 inches tall. The 1 to 3 flowering stems bear leaves only on the bottom half. Flower heads are up to three inches wide; the rounded central portion bears a hundred or more brown disc flowers, while from the periphery radiate about two dozen rose-purple ray flowers that are up to an inch long. Fruits are four-angled achenes about 1/4 inch long. The prickly central portion of the flower head persists throughout the winter.

Purple coneflower seems to prosper best on lightly and moderately grazed prairie, roadside ditches, etc...

This plant is a member of the extremely large sunflower family (Asteraceae). Aster means "star" in Greek, in reference to the radiate arrangement of flowers in the heads. The generic name stems from the Greek echinos, "sea urchin," in allusion to the prickly persistent head."
