Echinacea (Coneflower)
Color Coded® 'Frankly Scarlet'
PP33582
Praised for their cheerful brightly colored flowers, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. 'Frankly Scarlet' boasts 4 bright scarlet orange flowers, held over dark green foliage, and demonstrates good branching. Intense color lightens to coral orange with age. Enjoy these as late summer interest for your 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.
- » Large scarlet-orange flowers with dark cones
- » Lightly fragrant
- » Tolerant of drought
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.
