Description
Common Name: Coneflower, Glowing Dream
This Echinacea coneflower variety has the breeding which imparts great habit and a great number of crowns. The result is a superlative landscape plant with great flower colour, habit, and long bloom time from midsummer through fall. The fragrant flowers are an intense, glowing, watermelon-coral. Wow!
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.
The plants we ship; In early spring when echinacea ships they often appear small but will grow quickly as they are just waking up from being dormant. They will flower in the first season if planted in early summer.
