Glade Coneflower

Echinacea simulata, commonly known as the Glade Coneflower, is a herbaceous perennial plant native to the central United States. It is recognized for its drooping pale pink to lavender petals and a spiny, dark brown central cone. This plant is popular for its use in native plant gardens and prairie restorations due to its hardiness and ability to attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees. It prefers well-drained soil and can be found in glades and rocky woodlands.
