I planted this Echinacea purpurea, or purple coneflower, three years ago from a six pack, the two plants in this planter were the only two that survived, and last year they didn't do anything but sit there with two leaves on them. Just as I'd given up hope, this year one of them actually shot up a bloom! Its supposed to bloom all summer so we'll see if it continues...there are no signs of the other plant blooming.
Purple coneflower stats:
sunset zones A2, A3, 1-24
Native to central and east North America
seeds are favorite of finches (there are two finch families nesting at our house)
