Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Green Twister')
Echinacea purpurea, the base species of ‘Green Twister’ coneflower, is native to **eastern and central North America**. Specifically, it’s found in:
* **United States:** Primarily in the Midwestern and Southeastern regions. States like Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
* **Canada:** A few localized populations, mainly in Ontario.
Therefore, ‘Green Twister’ is a cultivar *derived* from plants that originally grew in these areas of North America. It’s been bred and selected for its unique color variation, but its genetic origins lie in those native populations.
