About Pale Purple, Coneflower Seed, Coneflower Seed
The Pale Purple Echinacea is a coneflower that blooms its pale purple to pink blooms in the early summer before most other flowers! This beautiful coneflower is loved for its nectar by hummingbirds and butterflies and will grow up to 3 feet tall. Try planting this variety with the Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), which has a deeper purple flower and will bloom just when Pale Purple Coneflower bloom cycle is ending. Planting these two together will give you many, many weeks of beautiful, bright Echinacea blooms.

Pests & Diseases
Aster yellows, powdery mildew, Botrytis, and crown rot affect coneflowers. Green, distorted flower cones and excessive leafy growth indicate aster yellows; the plant cannot be cured and should be removed promptly. Control leafhoppers and weeds, divide crowded clumps, and keep winter moisture away from crowns.
Monitor coneflower for aphids, thrips, mites, beetles, slugs, and chewing caterpillars. Remove badly infested growth, use physical controls first, and apply labeled treatments outside pollinator-active hours.

Its Role in the Native Ecosystem
Pale Purple Coneflower is visited by bumblebees, butterflies and skippers. Its foliage supports silvery checkerspot caterpillars, while some moth larvae use the flower heads. Often flowering before purple coneflower, it can help extend the sequence of food available in a prairie-style planting.
