Tough Plants for Tough Spots: Echinacea

Echinacea in my garden that I grew from seed.

Today my article for Mainline Gardening sings the praises of Echinacea. I have four varieties in the garden and hope to add more Echinacea purpurea as well as one or two new types this year.  I love Echinacea. It attracts butterflies spring and summer and birds to eat the seeds fall and winter.  It's tough, drought tolerant, and grows almost anywhere I plant it.  It's a great plant and very rewarding to grow.
