Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Magnus' is a cultivar of E. purpurea, and is selected for its bright reddish pink petals that lay out flat, and don't recurve as is typical with most coneflower. Blooms mid to late summer. The plant stands about 3 to 4 feet tall and about 18 to 24 inches wide, with large, deep green leaves typical of the species. Great in perennial borders and as cut flowers, though the seed heads will attract birds and persist well into the winter, so its worth it to leave some on the plant.
