One of the several Echinaceas well known for boosting the immune system, this one is hard to find in nurseries. Lovely, long & spidery, drooping, lavender-pink petals surround the beautiful reddish, honey-combed central cone. An excellent long-lasting cut flower, its nectar is loved by many butterflies and its seeds are a favorite food source for small birds. DEER PROOF!
