Best time to buy: September-October

Prices peak in spring when demand is highest. Magnus is the most widely grown purple coneflower cultivar. Fall clearance offers 15-30% savings.
Pro tip: Buy in fall, plant in fall. Fall-planted coneflowers establish stronger root systems and bloom prolifically the following summer. Seeds from spent flowers attract goldfinches.
