Echinacea Echinacea Angustifolia Glycerite Organic Dried Root Alcohol-Free Liquid Extract 2 oz

Echinacea Angustifolia (Narrow-leaved Purple Coneflower or Blacksamson Echinacea) is a North American plant species in sunflower family. It is widespread across much of the Great Plains of central Canada and the central United States. Echinacea is a perennial herb up to 40 to 70 centimetres (16 to 28 in) tall with spindle-shaped taproots that are often branched. The stems and leaves are moderately to densely hairy. The plant produces flower heads one per side branch, each at the end of a long peduncle. Each head contains 8-21 pink or purple ray florets plus 200-300 purple disc florets. Echinacea blooms late spring to mid summer. It is found growing in dry prairies and barrens with rocky to sandy-clay soils. Many Native American groups used this plant for a variety of medicinal purposes.
