Black-sampson echinacea
Echinacea angustifolia
Black-sampson echinacea is a drought-tolerant prairie native celebrated for its medicinal properties and striking daisy-like pink-purple flowers that bloom mid to late summer. Plant it in full sun to light shade in well-drained soil; it handles dry spells well once established and rarely needs supplemental fertilizer. Leave the seed heads standing in autumn to provide food for finches and other seed-eating birds.
