In this short video, Bailey from TN Nursery showcases their purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) plants, highlighting their strong appeal to pollinators such as painted lady butterflies and bees, and to goldfinches that feed on the seed in winter. The plant thrives in full sun, tolerates poor soils, endures severe drought, hot weather, and sub‑zero winter temperatures in Tennessee, and can reach up to five feet tall. It is deer‑ and rabbit‑resistant, reseeds itself, and is a perennial, making it ideal for pollinator, cottage, and prairie gardens. The stiff stems are suitable for bouquets, and the flower heads are used in herbal teas; herbalists refer to it as “enchanta,” meaning hedgehog in Greek. Bailey presents the current stock being shipped, emphasizes a buy‑one‑get‑one‑free promotion, and directs viewers to shop at tnursery.net.

Hey everyone, it's Bailey with TN Nursery, and today I'm showing you some purple coneflower. This is our purple coneflower patch, and I'm going to show you a beautiful painted lady butterfly that is enjoying one of them. These are native to North America, and butterflies absolutely go crazy over it, and bees flock to it as well. And in the fall, you'll start seeing goldfinches. Goldfinches eat its seed all winter long. It blooms all summer, and it survives really bad droughts. It grows in prairies naturally. It thrives in full sun and it's popular in pollinator gardens and cottage gardens. Deer don't like it, they will not eat on it, and rabbits will never touch it. It's a good plant if you have a lot of wildlife around. It can grow up to 5 feet tall. These are already around 4 foot tall and these is what we are shipping out right now. This is the stock if you buy with TN Nursery, this is what you're getting out of this patch.
