Pale Purple Coneflower - (Echinacea pallida)

Pale Purple Coneflower grows to about 3 feet tall and produces elegant, light purple blooms. This species supports bees like Sunflower Mining Bee (Andrena helianthiformis) and is one of the few flowers that Diana fritillaries (Argynnis diana) nectar on. Pale Purple Coneflower (Echinacea pallida) differs from the more popular Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) by producing most of its foliage at the base. This adaptation conserves water and allows it to thrive in dry, rocky soils. It prefers full sun but can easily tolerate some light shade. For a striking combination, pair it with Bush’s Poppy Mallow (Callirhoe bushii), a lower-growing companion that thrives in similar conditions and attracts tons of native bees.
