Narrative
Perennial native prairie wildflower which grows 2 to 3 feet tall. Leaves are mostly basal; elongate-oval, blades 7 inches by 0.75 inch with leaf stalks from 6 inches for basal leaves to 0.75 inch for stem leaves; parallel veins in the blades; bulb-based hairs above and below. There is a single head at the top of a stalk having stiff hairs and a few small leaves. Heads are pale to deep rose-purple, drooping rays, 1.5 inches long, dark purple disk flowers on a conical base, disk about 1 inch tall and 1 inch in diameter; flowering from May to July; rays often last until August. Fruits (seeds) are 0.125 inch long, squarish and pointed at one end; no plume; fruiting begins in late June; often fruits persist in the head through the winter. This Northern Iowa Eco-zone Germplasm represents materials collected in remnant prairies from the northern one-third of counties in Iowa. Materials were then regenerated by bulking samples at the University of Northern Iowa Tallgrass Prairie Center, Cedar Falls, IA where plots were separated via distance of circa 1,500 feet from other Echinacea plots. Germplasm was regenerated again at the USDA Elsberry Plant Materails Center in Elsberry, MO following the same isolation protocol of 1,500 feet.

Pedigree
Description:
Northern Iowa Germplasm was developed by bulking samples followed by a regeneration cycle executed at the University of Northern Iowa Tallgrass Prairie Center, Cedar Falls, IA where plots were separated via distance of circa 1,500 feet from other Echinacea plots. Germplasm was regenerated again at the USDA Elsberry Plant Materails Center in Elsberry, MO following the same isolation protocol of 1,500 feet. Original seed was collected from remnant prairies in the northern one-third of counties in Iowa.
