Echinacea purpurea 'Magnus'
Common Name: Magnus Purple Coneflower
Echinacea purpurea ‘Magnus’ — commonly called Magnus Purple Coneflower — is a classic, long-blooming perennial valued for its large, rich rose-pink flowers with broad, mostly horizontal petals and prominent orange-brown cones, appearing from early summer into fall. Dark green, slightly coarse foliage forms a sturdy clump and remains attractive through the season, sometimes developing muted tones in fall. Its upright, well-branched habit and strong stems make it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, and pollinator gardens.
