A Little History & Meaning

Echinacea, or coneflower, is a classic native wildflower known for its healing properties and deep roots in North American prairies. The name “Echinacea” comes from the Greek word echinos, meaning hedgehog—an ode to its spiky center. The ‘Sombrero® Tres Amigos’ is a newer cultivar bred for compact size, strong stems, and a unique color progression that evolves as the flower matures—just like friendship, it gets even better over time.

Symbolizing strength, health, and renewal, this coneflower is a garden favorite with soul.
