Many people know Echinacea for its medicinal properties. It is commonly taken in pill form as a natural treatment for cold and flu symptoms. But it is also a very drought-resistant and hardy plant once it’s established. And it is pretty stunning to look at as well. One of the most common Echinacea cultivars is the coneflower which has slender, pinkish-purple petals and a reddish-brown center.
