About Purpurea

This long-lived perennial features showy, daisy-like flowers with pinkish-purple petals that gracefully droop around a prominent dark brown cone, blooming profusely from midsummer. Its sturdy stems are excellent for fresh cut flower arrangements and garden borders, especially in water-wise designs. Valued as a medicinal herb, this plant also attracts birds with its seeds in the fall.
