Echinacea 'One in a Melon' #1
$17.99
Coneflower ·
Large, 5-5 1/2 inch melon-colored flowers have matching melon cones. Petals are held horizontally and overlap one another. Forms a tidy clump reaching about 24 inches tall with a spread of 18 inches. The varieties in the Color Coded® series were selected for their excellent flower performance, large flower size and horizontally held petals. Enjoy these as late summer interest for your garden. Coneflowers are pollinator magnets and during late fall to winter the seed heads, if left intact, will serve as food for birds. Grows in full to mostly sun, 24-26" tall and 18-20" wide. Hardy to Zone 4.
Coneflowers like it sunny and hot. Though they will tolerate light shade, fewer flowers will be produced and the plants will be weakened. Light, loamy soils are best but coneflowers will grow in any well-drained soil. Once established, they are quite drought tolerant. If properly cared for, they will form attractive colonies and will live for many years.
Companion Plants: Perovskia, Sedum, Daylily
