ECHINACEA Pallida (Pale Purple Coneflower)
Easily grown in full sun to part shade in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil. In full heat, it's best. Drought, heat, humidity, and low soil tolerance make this a versatile plant. When clumps get too crowded, separate them (about every 4 years). Plants normally bloom again without deadheading, but removing spent flowers as soon as possible enhances the overall appearance. If at least some of the seed heads are left in place, it will openly self-seed. Good for city and courtyard garden styles.
