Notes
'Fragrant Angel' coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Fragrant Angel') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer tend to pass it by. White petals surround a yellow-orange center cone, and the blooms smell sweet. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
