Echinacea purpurea 'Fragrant Angel' PP16054
Eastern Purple Coneflower, Fragrant Angel Coneflower
The aromatic blooms of ‘Fragrant Angel’ have clean white radial petals and a prominent orange cone. This Terra Nova introduction also boasts a strong upright habit and vigorous constitution.
Coneflower is a dependable garden staple that is happiest when planted in sites with full sun and well-drained, moderately fertile garden soil. It self-sows freely and will sometimes flower in the first year from seed. The seedlings can be highly variable, and those of most named cultivars, like 'Fragrant Angel', will not grow true to seed.
This carefree native is an excellent choice for perennial gardens, mixed borders or wildflower plantings. Its blooms also make great cutflowers. In addition, the fresh blooms attract butterflies and dry seed-filled cones draw seed-eating birds. Even better, purple coneflower is moderately disease resistant and deer do not favor it.
