Pale Purple Coneflower
Echinacea pallida
Tall, slender stems and drooping petals move with the wind. It is not for everyone, but beside a grass it becomes movement with colour.
Slender stems and swept-back petals that sway in a breeze and let you see straight through them. Not a traditional-looking coneflower, so it sits best in a rustic planting.
Going strong at five years.
