Echinacea tennesseensis

Tennessee Coneflower

  • Dry to average soils – doesn’t do well in rich or wet soils
  • Full Sun
  • 24” tall, 12” to 18” wide
  • Summer Blooms
  • Thrives in dry, gravely meadow settings

As their name suggests, this Echinacea is native to Tennessee, where they are historically found in a very limited range near where Nashville is now.

They are very tolerant of dry, well drained soils and don’t compete well with more vigorous species, making them a good fit for areas where the lack of moisture and nutrients slows down more rambunctious neighbours.

Would grow well alongside Orange Butterfly Weed, Lance Leaved Coreopsis, Heath Aster and other heat and drought adapted species.

-Seeds were collected from plants in my garden, which are not isolated from other Echinacea species so there is some possibility of natural hybridization -likely not an issue if you are just adding these to your garden, but an issue if you are planting this, previously listed as endangered, species for preservation purposes.
