Coneflowers cast a spell upon my gardening soul. Their daisy-like flowers, bright colors, long blooming time, and ease of care make them the workhorse of my summer and fall wildlife garden. They are beautiful and dependable, thrive in full sun and heat, have virtually no pest problems and can take less water than most other perennials. And their colorful cone centers...a complex of interwoven spirals that leave me mesmerized. Their nectar-rich centers entice butterflies and bees to flock to them and the seed heads bring goldfinches to the garden. Plus their sturdy stems make for nice cut flowers. Yes, I am crazy in love with coneflowers!
