Echinacea's Elixir — Women's Boxy Fit Botanical Tee | Wildflower Art | Sacred Garden Collection

Echinacea's Elixir is a beautiful boxy fit garment-dye tee featuring original garden photography transformed into painterly art — inspired by echinacea growing beside a rose bush in a coastal New Jersey pollinator garden, a plant whose healing legacy stretches back ten thousand years.

Echinacea takes its name from the Greek echinos — the hedgehog — a nod to the spiny domed central cone that gives this beloved flower its distinctive architectural beauty. But echinacea is far more than beautiful. For centuries before European settlers arrived, Native American peoples used every part of this plant — root, leaf, flower and seed — to treat wounds, infections, toothaches and fever. It was among the most valued medicinal plants on the continent, and today it still lines the shelves of every health food store and pharmacy in America.

Bees and butterflies have always known what healers are only now confirming. Bumblebees, honeybees, butterflies and hummingbirds all find their way to echinacea's generous cone. When the petals finally fade the seed heads remain standing through autumn and winter — feeding goldfinches and sparrows long after the garden has gone quiet.

Wherever you garden, consider choosing plants native to your region — they ask for less and give the local birds, bees, and butterflies so much more.

A garment worth wearing, rooted in a garden worth tending.
