Origin and traditional application

Botany of Echinacea
Echinacea Purpurea It is a perennial plant in the daisy family (Asteraceae) and grows to a height of 70–100 cm. It is notable for its composite flower, which consists of approximately 20 purple-pink ray florets. These unfold around a spiny, grey to reddish-brown center. The plant blooms from July to September and attracts plenty of bees and butterflies. A striking feature is that the flower takes on different forms during flowering: it first reaches upwards, later horizontally, and the ray florets eventually hang down.
Botanical variants Echinacea
Echinacea Purpurea descends from the original variants Echinacea pallida Nutt. and Echinacea angustifolia DC.These original species originate from the central prairies of North America, where they grow in sunny, open areas with nutritious, well-drained soil. Nowadays, Echinacea is cultivated all over the world, and in Europe, we are particularly fond of Echinacea purpurea due to its powerful effects.
