Ruby Star Purple Coneflower
Large, deep purple-pink to almost ruby red coneflowers are produced continuously from late summer into fall on this cultivar of a North American native plant produced by Jelitto Seeds. Like its parents, it thrives in full sun, average soils and is drought tolerant once established. The flower petals are held horizontal to the ground, not drooping like its ancestors, which makes for a more dynamic impact on the landscape.
