Such a rare color for Echinacea, this selection boasts saturated cranberry red, double pom-pom flowers that don’t bleach out as they age, putting on a sizzling hot show of color in the landscape for several months beginning in early summer.
The plants are very consistent and vigorous growers both in production and in the landscape. Clean, deep green foliage forms a sturdy, very well-branched, upright clump that fills out gallon sized pots well.
The fragrant blossoms are long lasting in fresh bouquets and attract butterflies like a magnet.
Praised for their cheerful brightly colored flowers, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. Be sure to leave some spent blooms on the plants in the fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter.

Coneflowers like it sunny and hot. Though they will tolerate light shade, fewer flowers will be produced and the plants will be weakened. Light, loamy soils are best but coneflowers will grow in any well-drained soil. Once established, they are quite drought tolerant. If properly cared for, they will form attractive colonies and will live for many years.
FUN FACT: The word "echinacea" comes from the Greek word "echinos" meaning "hedgehog", referring to the flower's spiky central cone.
