Purple Coneflower Magnus (Echinacea Purpurea Magnus) - This stunning coneflower was named the 1998 Perennial Plant of the Year! A well-behaved plant with bold six-inch wide, reddish-pink flowers. Attracts butterflies; perfect for the informal, nature-inspired garden. Excellent cut flower and perfect for xeriscape landscaping where water conservation is important.
Magnus is a distinctive, vigorous and large growing cone flower cultivar. The bright reddish-pink petals of its huge flowers are held flat as they radiate out from the cone, instead of curving backwards as is typical of most coneflowers.
