Coneflower powder (Echinacea spp.) is easily identified by its daisy-like blooms with slightly droopy petals and raised, cone-shaped centers. Although there are about nine species of this native American flower, gardeners most often grow E. purpurea and its many varieties. These range in color from the usual purple to shades of white to deep, reddish orange. Drought-tolerant, easy-care coneflowers grow best in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 to 9, depending on species. The plant is generally trouble-free, but may occasionally fall prey to fungal infections.
