Elixir of Echinacea

Article Abstract:

The purple coneflower, or Echinacea angustifolia, and the eight other members of that genus are attractive and useful plants for both gardens and pharmaceutical firms. E purpurea is the best known to gardeners, followed by E pallida, the pale purple coneflower. E angustifolia is far more drought-resistant than either, while E paradoxa, with its yellow ray florets, is perhaps more striking. E tennesseensis was among the first plants labeled endangered species. Native Americans rightly considered the plants medicinal.

Woodland

Article Abstract:

When planting a woodland garden one should aim for dappled shade, where the canopy is thin enough to allow sparkles of sunlight to go across the forest floor. Many of the most colorful woodland wildflowers are spring ephemerals plants that make their aboveground growth early and then retreat underground as the tree canopy fills out and temperature climbs.
