What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. They are a great option for planting large gardens. We plant all of our own projects with plugs.

Purple Coneflower is a classic garden perennial. The bright purple flowers provide nectar for butterflies and seed for songbirds. It can be short-lived, but it often spreads a lot by seed throughout gardens.

Design Tips

Purple Coneflower is a beautiful flower, an although it can be short-lived, it often spreads a lot by seed. It is fairly tall at 3ft and is best kept away from the very short 1-2ft native flowers. Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) will survive in gardens by spreading seed.

Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
