Echinacea is great for cut flowers, borders, mass plantings, and colorful interest in the garden. Their colorful flowers range from singled to double to quilled with scents of sweet honey to rose and appear from June until frost. Echinaceas prefer well-drained soils, are deer resistant, and attract butterflies.
