Notes
'Hula Dancer' pale purple coneflower (Echinacea pallida 'Hula Dancer') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, meadows, and pollinator 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 average soil of most types. Slender, drooping white and blush-pink petals sway in the breeze around green to reddish cones. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Goldsturm black-eyed Susan, Blanket flower, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Nodding onion.
