Echinacea purpurea Sombrero Flamenco Orange
Orange flowering Echinacea to complete the color range. 2½-3", intense orange flowers will make other Echinacea pale in comparison, with a matching orange cone that really makes the color pop.
Dark green foliage is completely covered with flowers. One of the best orange Echinacea to date.
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.
