Echinacea purpurea Purple Coneflower (Species Form)

The original prairie coneflower — magenta-pink reflexed ray petals surrounding a prominent coppery-orange cone; a hardy long-lived perennial that self-seeds freely, builds a self-renewing colony, supports Red Admirals and Painted Ladies in summer, feeds goldfinches in winter, and improves in beauty and scale with each passing year.

This is the species form of Echinacea purpurea — the original wild prairie coneflower from which the dozens of named cultivars (including 'Bravado') were developed. It produces the classic large daisy-like flowers with magenta-pink ray petals that droop elegantly downward from the prominent coppery-orange central cone — the "reflexed" petal arrangement that gives wild Echinacea its characteristic pendant quality, distinct from the upward-facing or horizontal petals of cultivated varieties. Growing 80–100cm tall on strong, rarely-staking-needed stems, it blooms from July through September and then transitions into the seed-bearing winter cones that define its year-round value. Hardy perennial. The single most self-sufficient and self-renewing of all the coneflowers available from seed.

A note on growing

Echinacea purpurea is an investment in patience: Year 1 establishes the deep taproot with modest flowering; Year 2 brings the full display; Year 3+ produces established clumps that grow more beautiful and architectural with each year.

Sow indoors from February. Surface-sow onto moist seed compost and cover with only a very fine dusting of vermiculite — just enough for seed-to-compost contact without blocking light. Critical detail: unlike some perennials (including Echinacea 'Bravado') where some darkness can help, E. purpurea seeds respond positively to light during germination. A tray left in darkness will have noticeably poorer germination than one on a bright windowsill. Maintain 20°C; germination 14–28 days. If slow after 3 weeks, the cold-stratification trick (2 weeks in the fridge then return to warmth) often triggers further germination.

Plant out into full sun in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Mark the position in autumn: Echinacea emerges late in spring (often not until late May), and the bare ground can be mistaken for empty space — easy to dig up accidentally. Leave the cones standing all winter for the goldfinches.

Where it shines

In any naturalistic prairie-style border, where the species form is more authentically "wild" than cultivated varieties — the reflexed pendant petals echo the original prairie aesthetic. In wildlife gardens, where the species form is significantly more self-seeding than named cultivars (many of which are sterile or produce non-viable seed). By leaving cones standing through winter, established E. purpurea gradually creates a self-renewing colony — flowering bigger and better every year without any further sowing or buying. As cut flowers for prairie-style arrangements. In winter gardens, where the seed cones provide structural interest and goldfinch feeding stations.

Plant alongside

The full prairie partnership: combine Echinacea purpurea with Echinops ritro 'Veitch's Blue' (blue globe contrast), Rudbeckia 'Marmalade' (golden warmth), Agastache 'Liquorice Blue' (purple-blue vertical), and Verbena bonariensis (airy purple). Together they provide June-November flowers, structural winter cones for birds, and exceptional pollinator support throughout.

LOYEE 8‑Pack Puppy Toys — Cheap, Tough, and My Pup Loves ’Em
Style: 8 - Pack Frog
I grabbed these LOYEE toys because my little teacup dog needed something to chew when the boys are loud and I’m making lunches. For the price they’re surprisingly durable — survived a few rough play sessions without falling apart — and the different shapes keep her interested so she’s not chewing shoes. They’re soft enough that the twins can toss them without hurting the pup, and washing them is easy when they get drool or dirt on them. If you need an inexpensive pack to keep a small dog entertained and not chewing up your tools or kids’ stuff, these do the job.

All the plush type toys and the frog have a great squeak toy in them that isn't too loud like most!! All are a decent size and have kept my girl entertained since I opened the package!! Love that they are bright and vibrant colors and seem to be very good quality!! My 9lh Chihuahua for size reference 😂 actually she wouldn't stop trying to steal them when I was taking the pictures lol. She especially loves the big frog and ball that you can put snacks into! The red bone seems to be a very hard durable plastic so she won't be able to chew it Into small pieces and choke, so very safe!

Chew ball and carrot only things to last.
The chew ball is awesome. Lasts forever. The carrot and multicolored rope bone also last and are very durable. The flamingo lasted ten minutes and the stuffing went everywhere quickly, I converted it into a makeshift smaller rope chew, lol. The banana had appeal….but my dogs destroyed it in two days. I liked the banana but it is flimsy. So far I’ve sequestered the Star and “meat” toys, they don’t look to durable. It’s a cheap product so you get what it’s worth. I wanted a cool flamingo but the flamingo was the easiest for my Brussels Griffon to destroy. All in all the carrot and chew ball are good but the rest not so much. Two stars.
