Echinacea
Echinacea purpurea & E. augustifolia

A uniquely American herb, echinacea is native to the central United States, where it has been used by Native Americans for maintaining good health more than any other plant. Extensive research in the last 20 years confirms that echinacea stimulates the body's defense system, helping to keep you in good health. Echinacea can be especially helpful during winter. Known as the "purple coneflower," this wonderful and beautiful herb is now a common garden plant grown both here and abroad.
