Blooms April-September. Daisy-like flowers. Good butterfly plant and seeds for birds and mammals. Rare in the wild in Texas, but popular in nurseries. Echinacea angustifolia is native to Central Texas dry prairies and Echinacea sanguinea is native to moister areas in East Texas. If they can’t be found in nurseries, they can be grown from seed.
