Echinacea pallida

 

Pale Purple Coneflower is an herbaceous perennial in the Asteraceae family. This plant
certainly makes a statement, with large pale purple daisy-like flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. Since it handles dryer soil better, it can also handle being put in containers. Pale Purple Coneflower attracts an array of pollinators, so it would be great for pollinator gardens.
