The large, purple blooms of the Coneflower are perfect in bouquets or in ornamental flowerbeds. Companion plant the coneflower among vegetables, and the bees and butterflies will visit to help pollinate your crops! Coneflowers even attract beneficial predatory insects that control pests like aphids and tomato hornworms. Plus, youve probably heard of the health benefits of Echinacea-the Latin name for coneflowers-in boosting immunity. In June through October, you may harvest the flowers to make herbal tea.
