Purple echinacea (echinacea purpurea), or purple coneflower/Sampson root, is from the daisy family, growing in the east U.S. and cultivated elsewhere. Harvested late fall, its root is typically used in teas/infusions or tinctured in alcohol.
A very popular refill item for those who have purchased the Homesteading Family Herbal Kit or taken Melissa K Norris' Practical Home Herbalism Course.
Mix Organic Echinacea with sweet rose hips and hibiscus to create different herbal tea blends. Rose hips can also be used to craft jams, jellies, marmalades, and syrups. Echinacea and ginger root can be combined for tinctures, with ginger being a popular spice in Indian, Japanese, and Chinese cuisines.
