Coneflower, hedgehog head, or coneflower

The Echinacea plant is also known as "Purple Coneflower." Its name suggests where this flower prefers to grow: in sunny to partially shaded spots. It belongs to the daisy family and blooms from July to September. During this time, the purple coneflower bears round flower heads whose petals resemble small hedgehog spines. This is also how the name Echinacea originated, derived from the Greek word "echinos" (hedgehog).
