ECHINACEA purpurea 'Magnus'
Eastern Purple Coneflower, Magnus Coneflower, Purple Coneflower
Magnus coneflower is a colorful, easy-to-grow garden perennial that originates from the eastern United States and Canada. In early to late summer it produces long, sturdy stems of large, showy, red-purple daisy flowers with conical centers of amber brown. Bloom time may be extended if their spent flowers are removed, or deadheaded. A dependable garden staple, Magnus coneflower self-sows freely but not aggressively. These natives are happiest when planted in sites with full sun and well drained, moderately fertile soil. Attractive to butterflies and deer resistant, purple coneflower is an excellent choice for perennial gardens, mixed borders or wildflower plantings. When dry, their seed-filled cones attract seed-eating birds.
