One of the best flowering perennials for a sunny location, echinacea, more commonly known as the coneflower, is very easy to grow. These heat- and drought-resistant beauties develop wave after wave of blooms all summer long. Plus, coneflowers are at the top of the list for hungry butterflies and other pollinators that will flock to your flowerbeds to enjoy the nectar-rich blooms. A variety of birds love them as well. Coneflower colors include pink, red, orange, white, and yellow. Most varieties have large single-petaled blooms and grow 18 to 36 inches tall.
Plant coneflowers in a spot that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun each day. They aren't too fussy about soil type, but prefer a rich, well-drained location. Remove the faded flower heads as they appear to encourage the development of additional flower stalks. Coneflowers also make a beautiful statement in containers.
