Coneflower is one of the most popular and cultivated North American natives in temperate gardens worldwide. There are plenty of rainbow-colored and dwarf selections, but we really appreciate the deep magenta petals and compact size of 'PowWow Wild Berry'. Mix with more subdued perennials to make these stunners pop, or combine with other coneflower selections for a festival of color!
