Echinacea

Perennial. Echinacea purpurea
50 seeds per packet.

A well known and loved easy-to-grow perennial plant is often harvested in its second year for root medicine. It's gorgeous, pink-purple flowers open sequentially, seeming to poke out like fingers from small green buds. Watch them grow into their nickname — coneflower — as the buds mature over several days.
