I have had a clump of echinacea for about 8 or 10 years. It spreads very little and never reseeds. The goldfinches pretty much clean out the seedheads.

I wintersowed some new ones last year and ended up with 6 seedlings. They looked good and healthy all summer, even in our drought, so I'm hopeful that they'll survive winter and I get to see them in bloom this summer. Those coneflowers are my toughest plant.

This is a picture of my old one, taken last summer.
