12 Top Midwest Perennial Flowers

These good-looking perennials can weather whatever our Midwestern climate delivers. Best of all, they come back year after year with almost no attention on your part.

Coneflowers

Midwest native coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea) bloom throughout the summer. Plants range in height from 16 inches to 4 feet, depending on the variety. One of our favorites, 'Kim's Knee-High', tops out at 16-20 inches, and doesn't flop over in the wind and rain. Traditional colors are pink-purple and white, but new cultivars such as 'Tomato Soup' showcase red, yellow and other bright hues.
