The Pale Purple Coneflower, like most other coneflowers, has a prominent coppery-orange cone in their centers. Where they differ is their long and slender petals that fall in a cascade from the cones. The color could be described as pale purple but that would be doing it a disservice. It's closer to the color of dawn right before the sun rises on the horizon. One thing is for sure, it's a shade you won't want to miss!
