North America
It blooms in June and July. "Echinacea pallida" is found in clearings, rocky meadows and woods in an area stretching from northeast Texas to southern Wisconsin.
The rhizome of "Echinacea" was used by the Indians of the North American plains, perhaps more than any other plant, in the elaboration of medicinal remedies. In the 1930s, it became popular in both Europe and the United States as a folk medicine. It was credited with boosting the body's immune system and helping to prevent infections. Depending on the species used, medicinal beverages can be prepared from the stem and flower, or from the root.
