ECHINACEA
(CONEFLOWER) Sun to part shade Zone 3-9
Praised for their large, daisy-like flowers which appear from mid
through late summer, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. If
deadheaded, the bloom cycle will be extended. However, some spent
blooms should be left on the plants in fall because their seeds
provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads
also provide architectural interest in the winter.
Echinacea attract butterflies like no other plant'
FUN FACT: The word "echinacea" comes from the Greek
word "echinos" meaning "hedgehog", referring to
the flower's spiky central cone.

green ray petals surround the large, green cone of this fragrant
coneflower. The plants have an upright habit and a height of just
20-24 inches, so no staking is required. 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

30" wide by 36" high. From mid through late summer, highly
fragrant, 3 inch, spicy red-orange flowers bloom with a papaya orange
halo in the pom-pom center. The glowing orange flowers have terrific
visual impact from quite a distance, especially when planted in
groups. Be sure to cut a few for a fresh bouquet that will last nearly
two weeks. Though it is a hybrid of two species, Hot Papaya
strongly exhibits the traits of E. purpurea in foliage and habit. The
plant forms a strong, sturdy clump with robust, deep green foliage and
thick stems with maroon markings. It grows about three feet tall in
the landscape, making it a good choice for the middle of the flower
border. 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.
