Shipping Timeframes
We work hard to make sure you receive healthy plants that will lead to a thriving wildlife garden. Our growers nurture your plants until the timing is best to send them your way. Shipping begins each year in spring after the last frost date for your area has passed and ends in early fall when the plants start to go dormant.
Most shipping regions are still accepting pre-orders for Spring 2025 but the southeast (Florida and neighboring states) has begun to ship pre-orders in the order they were received. Check your shipping region for details on expected shipping start dates.
What is my USDA Hardiness Zone?
- Product Description
- Long-Lasting Blooms: Showy purple flowers with prominent cones bloom all summer, adding beauty and pollinator appeal to your garden.
- Wildlife Support: Attracts bees, butterflies, moths, and other pollinators during the growing season, while seed heads nourish birds in the fall.
- Adaptable: Thrives in sun to part shade and adapts to a wide range of soil types, making it suitable for both small gardens and large landscapes.
- Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant and deer-resistant once established, purple coneflower is a perfect choice for sustainable gardening.
- Eco-Friendly: Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids, promoting a healthy ecosystem for pollinators and wildlife.
- Location: Plant in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil.
- Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots. Once established, the plant requires minimal water.
- Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.

1/7Great Native Plants!
The plants were delivered healthy. Once planted they quickly took off, I got tons of caterpillars my very first year. I completely recommend this purchase.

Disappointed for the price
I purchased three purple coneflowers and the plants were very small upon arrival. After planting, they have not produced a single flower (I am writing this review two and a half months from purchase). My other plants from a local nursery are flowering and growing well beyond these. I was really hoping for a better experience!

We’re sorry to hear that your plants didn’t meet your expectations. While we do not expect native perennials to bloom the first year, please know that our plants are guaranteed for a year, and we’d love to help make things right. Feel free to reach out to our customer care team at orders@gardenforwildlife.com.
very good shape
I was impressed with the nice root system and development of these coneflowers when they arrived. I put them in the ground as soon as I got them, and our weather has been very cool up until now, but they are holding strong and standing on their own. I think they will make it!
