Pink Profusion

The coneflower (echinacea) is a summer garden favorite and comes in a variety of colors. This daisy-like flower attracts butterflies and birds with its seeded dome-like center. Echinacea comes from the Greek word ekhinos, which means sea urchin or hedgehog.

If you have a sunny spot, they are easy to grow and will provide cheery blooms from June through fall. I love having them in my garden and I let some of the flowers go to seed to provide a snack for the goldfinches.
