Originating from the United States, Echinacea purpurea has also been known as Rudbeckia purpurea due to its similarities with the Rudbeckia plant.

Standouts include the bright orange and yellow forms of Echinacea Cheyenne Spirit and the unique purple, green, and cream flowers of Echinacea Green Twister.
