Sweeps of purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea, USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9) and drumstick allium (Allium sphaerocephalon, Zones 4-11) blooms sway in the breeze in the healing garden at Michigan State University's Radiology department in East Lansing, Michigan. This garden was designed by Janet Gauthier.
