Magnus Echinacea is a freely branching native perennial with strong upright stems that do not need staking and deep green foliage. The large fragrant flowers with broad rose-purple petals and red-bronze cones bloom through summer. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
