SOMBRERO® Salsa Red produces softly fragrant, spicy orange-red blossoms with an orange-brown cone. The petals overlap, giving the flowers a fuller, more polished look. They are freely produced from early through late summer. Grows in full to mostly sun, 24-26" tall and 16-22" wide. Hardy to Zone 4.
Praised for their cheerful brightly colored flowers, coneflowers are a deer resistant 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.
