A coneflower is a common name for plants in the genus Echinacea, which are known for their distinctive cone-shaped flower heads. These flowers typically feature a prominent, spiky central cone surrounded by petal-like ray flowers that can vary in color, commonly seen in shades of pink, purple, and white. Coneflowers are popular in gardens and landscaping for their vibrant appearance and are also valued for their medicinal properties. They attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
