Echinacea tennesseensis
Tennessee Coneflower Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8
Tennessee Coneflower has 2 to 3 inch daisy-like pink flowers with greenish-brown centers or cones. The petals extend out or up as though reaching for the sun. The are not reflexed backwards as do those of the Purple Coneflower. The leaves are linear, giving plants an open appearance. The 1 to 11/2 foot tall plants form low sprawling mounds, so are best planted several together. Although the species is on the Federal Endangered Species List, it is very easy to grow, needing full sun and dry, well-drained conditions. It would be an attractive focal point for the front of the garden with its unusual flower colors. Flowering persists from June to September. US Fish and Wildlife permit number TE125626-0. Cat# 1087
