Echinacea purpurea (Eastern purple coneflower or Purple coneflower) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Echinacea. Its cone-shaped flowering heads are usually, but not always purple.
Echinacea comes from the Greek word for hedgehog ‘echinos’ which alludes to the prickly spines of the central cone.
