The Pow Wow Wildberry is a stellar rosy-purple coneflower that adds mid-summer color to the landscape just as spring bloomers wrap up their showy period. This selection has a superior branching habit, making for prolific flowers in the first year of planting. The blooms on this Echinacea cultivar are bright burgundy pink with a large orange-brown center and do not fade. Coneflowers like this one are notorious for attracting butterflies to the landscape.
The Pow Wow Wildberry is a tough, sturdy, and easy-to-grow selection. It is drought tolerant and hardy; the parent species of this cultivar is native to the United States and found in prairies, meadows, and open woods. It is an excellent choice for a butterfly planting or native plant landscapes. Gardeners may utilize it for a prairie garden or areas with intense hot sun. It pairs well with black-eyed Susans and grasses.
Pow Wow Wildberry Coneflower Care
The Pow Wow wildberry coneflower prefers a site with full sun and handles heat well. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires only very occasional watering. It prefers average to dry soil moisture. Amend soils that have a high clay content with plenty of organic matter to improve drainage. An annual application of a slow-release fertilizer in early spring is enough to encourage vigor.
This coneflower will keep blooming without deadheading but gardeners can snip off the spent flowers to keep the plant looking tidy. Cut the plant back completely after a killing freeze or leave the seedheads to provide winter interest and food for birds, then cut back in early spring.
Pow Wow Wildberry Coneflower Spacing
The Pow Wow Wildberry grows quickly to reach a height of sixteen to twenty inches with a spread of twelve to sixteen inches. Space multiple plants at least twelve inches apart.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
