Echinacea purpurea 'PowWow Wild Berry'
Coneflower
Echinacea 'PowWow Wild Berry’ is a coneflower that features large, deep magenta flowers in an upright clump on sturdy, well-branched stems that do not need staking. Each flower features downward-arching, overlapping, deep magenta-pink rays which encircle a large orange-brown center cone. Good fresh cut or dried flower. The dead flower stems will remain erect well into the winter, and if flower heads are not removed, the blackened cones may be visited by goldfinches or other birds that feed on the seeds.

Coneflower Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Easily grown in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Best in full sun. A very adaptable plant that is tolerant of drought, heat, humidity and poor soil. Divide clumps when they become overcrowded. Plants rebloom well without deadheading, however prompt removal of spent flowers encourages continued bloom and improves general appearance. The last blooms of the season can be left to seed for small birds in the winter.
