They seem to thrive in Illinois and our winters are quite harsh and at the same time our summers are really hot and humid. I don't water them much because they don't care for too much moisture. The purple cone flowers are also known as echinacea. Chilly frosty mornings are good for a cup of tea and warm breakfast scones with jam. I do miss good ol scones. It's difficult to find them here.

Do they need REALLY hot weather to flourish? Or is it our frosts that don't do them any favours? Anyhow its a great photo to enjoy on a chilly frosty morning back here.
