The narrow-leaved purple coneflower, scientifically named Echinacea angustifolia, is part of a large family of purple coneflowers. Of the three purple coneflower species most commonly used in Minnesota planting, the narrow-leaved purple coneflower is the only one native to the state.
These perennial flowers can be 1 to 2 feet tall at maturity, blooming from June to October in sunny spots. Narrow-leaved purple coneflowers prefer to grow in dry prairies.
48 purple coneflowers have been planted in TCA's rain garden.
