Does anyone plant wildlflowers like purple coneflower?

I have planted some around my house but wanted to plant some where I hunt for the wild birds.

Thanks

Ya. Usually as part of a pollinator mix. Hilltop Seeds is a good source.

What is a pollinator mix?

Pollinators are typically a mix of native to your area wildflowers that are beneficial for honeybees. The side benefits arethese same species are excellent food sources for deer, turkeys and other wildlife and need very little maintenence once established.

I've got some purple coneflower plant seedling growing right now.

The bees like them and birds too
