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.

The ability to work with research data when giving recommendations to the viewers is what most of the youtube gardening channels are lacking. I'm impressed with your content, Joe. Subscribed.
Thank you! I'm glad you are finding it helpful.
100% agree and had also subscribed the moment I realized this person cited sources.
Your channel is pack with information thanks
Not knowing that I didn't need to over-winter, I put seeds in the freezer for about three weeks. I had a about a 35% success rate.
That is too bad Palloas. But at least you had some germination
I am blown away by the quality of your content. Thank you! You are an incredible teacher! Great videos.
That means a lot Linh. It is nice to know my work is appreciated! Thank you very much for the kind words.
This is easily the most informative echinacea video I’ve come across. Thanks for all the helpful info!
You are very welcome!
I love that you always include info on deer and rabbit resistance, as well as pollinators. Thanks for your excellent videos!
You are welcome Margaret. Thank you!
Excellent details and pacing of this video Sir! I appreciate the heads up about the potential issues with deer and rabbits 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
This is the first video I viewed by you, and found your information and detail great! Thank you. I subscribed immediately!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Such a comprehensive video! Excellent narration, appreciate the details to consider when growing a Purple Coneflower.
Thank you Taba! That was my goal, to be comprehensive! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
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 doing this!
You are very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great information, as always!
Thank you Connie! Much appreciated.

You are quite welcome Ali!
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!
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.
Thanks again❤️ Always very clear/thorough explanation and guide to planting and taking care of our gardens.
Thank you again Jean. My goal is to get you all the info you need to know!
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!
LOVED hearing the male catbird singing/squaking in the background!!
They are awesome birds. We have a healthy population
@@growitbuildit Yes and they're QUITE curious birds! I find they check me out from the cover of thick shrubbery!
This video was super informative & very helpful. You did an awesome job! Thank you!!!!
Thank you! Glad I could help you out
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.
Great videos. The more info the better.
Thank you Mirla - I try to pack them full of useful info!
Gracias!!!

Thank you Brittany! I'm glad you are finding them helpful!
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!
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 video, thank you. The Coneflower is also one of my favourite pollinator plant
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
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 information! Thanks
You are very welcome Peggy!
Very nice and informative video. Thank you.
You are very welcome Mahyar. Glad you found it helpful.
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!
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 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.
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!
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.
Just bought my first plant! Thank you for the most informative video on the subject!
Thank you June! Good luck with your Echinacea!
Thanks! This was very helpful!
You are welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
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!!
Great video! Thank you for sharing, I too love coneflowers
Thank you Terry - I'm very happy you enjoyed it.
Once again, this was a very helpful & professionally presented & narrated overview of this beautiful flower/plant. I really appreciate your thorough coverage of all this great information!! Thank you!!
Thank you Sonia! I really appreciate the kind words, as I do put a lot of effort into these videos. You are very welcome!
Fantastic video!
Thank you Joy!
I have watched a few videos on sowing purple coneflower and this is BY FAR the best video with the most information. Thank you!
Thank you Melanie! I'm very happy you found it helpful, and I really appreciate the kind words!
I am OBSESSED with coneflowers and I am trying to grow them in India, my zone being 11. It is beyond its comfort zone so I selected Echinacea purpurea thinking that the wild one would be more resilient. My seedling has 10+ leaves now. Wish me luck!
Good luck to you!
All information I was looking for about echinacea I found in your video. You have a like and a new subscriber. Thank you so much. 🙏
Happy growing! 🌻🦋🌷🐝🌳
Thank you! I'm glad I could help you out.
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.
Love coneflowers! Attracts bees, monarch butterflies too! I deadhead once & then leave for the goldfinches heading into winter. As a result, I’ve been rewarded with bigger clumps & lots of babies the following year and added them to other parts of my gardens. Thank you for your channel & native plants. I’m near Niagara Falls, Canada.
Excellent - It is fun getting free plants. And thank you for the kind words!
I’m going to give this a try
Good luck Brennan - it's a great plant.
Great video I was able to regrow some from seed.
From the previous year.
Excellent - nice work Jonathan
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.
Very informative video... thank you sir
Thank you Travis - glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative, appreciate it
Thank you Vivi!
I loved watching this video. I love coneflower, and have many around my property.
Thank you Margaret - it's a wonderful plant.
Several years ago I had some wild cone flowers pop up in my yard. I was injured a few years ago enough that I could not work in the yard - but I'm back trying a tiny bit now. Anyway, because they are in the midst of a vinca, daisy etc bed
I put a tomato cage over them at the end of the Fall in hopes that I could get back to them this Spring. Well, thanks to your video I was able to pull up the tomato cages, scout and find my new little cone-flower plants! I dug them up and
replanted in a semi-sunny area. Said a prayer that the armadilloes don't find them until the soil is settled and hope they
make it. Hopefully, this Fall I can buy some new ones. They really are beauties and always bring a smile to my face.
I also saved some seeds. Hopefully they are still good but guess I'll have to wait until next year to work with them.
Just the little bit I did today has left me exhausted and hurting but.....in a good way. Love the garden. Thanks again and showers of blessings, p
Hi - I am happy that the info helped you find them as they are sprouting. Also, I would go ahead and try to germinate the seed you saved. The sooner they get started the better they will be next year. Thank you very much, and good luck!
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
Very interesting and one of the better presented introductions. Just subscribed. Thanks and blessings! p

Thank you so much Ann!
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!
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 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 good information ❤❤❤❤❤ thanks
You are very welcome!
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!
Thank you for mentioning the importance of the native to the world of tiny winged ones! Many people are unaware that cultivars may not serve the world of nature well. Namaste
You are welcome - most people don't consider or know how subtle differences can have a dramatic effect on what attracts pollinators.
Excellent, thank you. 👌💕
You are very welcome Mary!
I need this! Thank you. I have a packet of seeds I just bought.

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.
