Quick Overview:

One of TERRA NOVA®’s best Echinacea hybrids! Very upright with glowing watermelon-pink held in a perfect bouquet pattern. Dense, pine-green foliage covers this plant right to the ground. Dark, chocolate brown stems and matching eye contrast perfectly on this amazing plant. Stunning when planted en mass. A true standout as a specimen. Excellent in containers.

Description

Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best in full sun. An adaptable plant that is tolerant of drought, heat, humidity and poor soil. Divide clumps when they become overcrowded (about every 4 years). Plants usually rebloom without deadheading, however prompt removal of spent flowers improves general appearance. Will self-seed if some seedheads are allowed to mature.  Seeds are a favorite of finches and other birds.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
