ECHINACEA
ANGUSTIFOLIA
Native Wildflower
Echinaceas - known to most as the familiar
"purple cone flower" is so valuable as a "herbal remedy"
that it is in danger of being dug to death in the wild by people who sell
its pricy root to manufacturers. It could disappear in its wild habitat,
but you can "grow your own." For genuine freshly harvested, home-grown
seed, you can order from "Oklahoma Wildflowers." The locally
run and owned business also offers other native grasses and wildflowers
in bulk or small packets for backyards.
