Echinacea ‘Prairie Splendor Compact Rose’ is a compact, floriferous purple coneflower selected for its strong branching habit and vibrant rose-pink blooms. The large daisy-like flowers feature broad rosy petals surrounding a prominent coppery-orange cone, creating a classic prairie coneflower look on a smaller, tidier plant. Blooming from early summer into fall, the sturdy stems produce multiple flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Its compact habit makes it especially suitable for smaller gardens, containers, and the front to middle of perennial borders.
