Description:
This Echinacea produces compact, rose-magenta flowers with dark orange cones (centers), making it a welcome addition to many flower beds. Blooming earlier than most coneflowers, it can sporadically produce blooms later in late summer and early fall. This nativar is great for cut flowers, as well as being an important flower to the ecosystem. Deadhead to remove spent blooms to encourage more production, but also leave some to promote seed production for birds to eat. Considered a more true nativar than other hybridized coneflowers, this one is drought and heat tolerant once established.
