Bush's Coneflower (Echinacea paradoxa)

These are supposed to be great butterfly attractors...going to find out next spring.

@Meadowlark, Are there any specific coneflowers that you might buy?

Yes, I have already purchased and received several hundred seeds of each Echinacea Purple Coneflower, Red Echinacea, and mixed Echinacea for spring planting. Can't wait to get them going.

I started a butterfly photo and ID hobby this summer and so far have "captured" over 35 different varieties of butterflys in my garden.

I'm hoping and expectant that these coneflower together with several milkweed varieties I have also ordered will up my count this next spring.

Butterflys are such amazing creatures.

I'm finding it difficult to get coneflower seeds to germinate.

Any tips along those lines?

It took mine awhile to get going, but get going they did...and they keep going. The blooms last a remarkably long time.
