Common Name: Purple Coneflower - Bravado Botanical name: Echinacea purpurea Bravado Plant Type: Perennial – none native adapted Light Requirement: Sunny/Part shady Water Requirement: Low Heat/Drought Tolerance: Medium Height: 1- 4’ Width/Spacing: 1-1 ½’ Flower Color: Rosy Pink Blooming Period: Mid-spring to summer Plant Form or Habit: Bushy Foliage Color and Texture: Grayish to green, rough Butterfly or bird attracter: Butterflies, insects and birds Deer Resistant: Somewhat Plant Use: Borders, meadows, mixtures, floral gardens Glorious rosy-pink blooms bobbing atop hardy native plants that bloom freely over a very long season--is there a simpler or more beautiful plant for the garden than this Coneflower? Unlike other Echinaceas, Bravado holds its extra-wide petals out flat, offering up even more color from late spring until the cold fall weather sets in. The blooms are 4 to 5 inches wide, their hue varying from light cotton-candy pink to deep magenta-tinged rose. And the cheery golden-brown cones, which bring in the butterflies and bees, are superb for drying and using in Everlasting arrangements! These long-stemmed, bushy plants reach 4 feet tall, holding their blooms overhead like gay umbrellas on very sturdy stems. Superb for a large planting anywhere, they show to particular advantage in the back of the border, drifting across a perennial bed, or in any naturalized woodland or meadow setting. They bloom the first year and for many years thereafter, lasting through the worst heat and dry weather summer has to offer. The flowers are also superb in the vase--if you can tear them away from the butterflies, that is! A natural treasure, Coneflower belongs in almost every garden with space for plenty of colorful, long-lasting blooms! They start out an unusual pastel pink, but by the time the petals have reached their full width, the bloom is a richer pink verging into purple, with magenta cone that grows larger & darker as it matures. A small clump will be a large clump in three years, & can be divided either spring or autumn. Excellent for the xeriscape garden, low-maintance mixed border, cutting garden, or containers.
