Tennessee Purple Coneflower
Tennessee purple coneflower is a stunning perennial with dark green, lance-shaped leaves. In mid-summer, it produces showy, daisy-like flowers on slender stems. The flowers feature pretty pink petals that turn upward, unlike other coneflowers, and have a darker central cone compared to the eastern purple coneflower.
The flowers always face east, so plant them where you can enjoy the front side of the beautiful blossoms.
Tennessee purple coneflower was listed as an endangered species for over 30 years, native only to an area covering three counties in Tennessee. Due to successful conservation efforts, it is now available at nurseries for sale.
