Echinacea purpurea (aka Purple Coneflower, or Purple Echinacea) is one of the most popular perennials in the garden. In addition to being beautiful the flowers can also be used to make an extremely popular herbal tea, purported to help strengthen the immune system. With stems that can reach as high as 5 feet tall and beautiful, long-lasting purple flowers that are visible from afar, it is easy to see why every gardener should want them in their garden or meadow.
We guarantee that our seeds & bulbs will be true to type and ready to thrive. If something doesn't grow as expected, we will make it right. Questions? Call us at 855-440-2929
I spent a lot of money for roots and all I got was roots, no crown or anything. As you can see in the picture, all I received was ROOTS. They were packed in a moist mixture and the all rotted. I was so disappointed to receive this. What a waste of money.

Only 1 out of 3 roots sprouted in my timer irrigated beds. The one that did sprout looks so sad. Hardly any flowers.

Hello Savannah Bartlett. We appreciate you sharing your experience with Eden Brothers. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us enhance our products. We will be passing this along to our growers. The wet spring might have had they rot out, or if it warmed up too quickly they could have gone dormant. They can come back stronger if this is the case. We’re happy our Customer Service Team could assist you, and we wish you a beautiful and thriving garden this season and in the years to come!

I love Eden Brothers and will continue to purchase from them…and… only 2 of 27 echinacea roots that we planted came up.

Not one has sprouted. In the high desert, so growing conditions are very hard — I’m sure it’s the soil/climate — but I had hoped!

I LOVE Echinacea and got these purple colored ones to add pop to my pollinator garden. Sadly, I didn't get a single sprout, leaf or anything. I'd post a photo if something actually grew, sadly I can't say if these were a pretty color.

Ordered roots for both coneflower and black eyed susan. order in winter to be shipped "at the right time". Recieved in spring and planted about two months ago. Two problems: 1. While I ordered two packs of 3 echinacea roots, I only received 5 roots. 2. Only one of 3 Rudbeckia came up, and only one of 5 echinacea roots sprouted. That's in a garden and area that has been routinely very fertile, and care that was on-point. Have had excellent results with peonies, for instance, so disappointed with this result.
