Big Sky Sundown™ Coneflower – 5 Inch Container

Description

The super saturated Big Sky Sundown™ Coneflower PP17,659 (Echinacea ‘Evan Saul’) is a hybrid Coneflower in the Big Sky™ series with flowers that start out being fluorescent rose-pink, then change to bright rosy red-orange! They eventually fade to soft purple-pink. Not only that, these are very fragrant!

The Sundown™ Coneflower blooms from June to September and is a major attractor to Hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, providing nectar and pollen to a wide variety of Pollinators. This Coneflower is literally covered in masses of blooms! The vibrancy of this unusual color is quite stunning and makes a grand addition to a sunny garden area!

The stunning flowers of Sundown™ occur on strong stems and long, dark-green stems with dark-green foliage mounds that grow fast throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 9! Growing up to 3 feet tall when in bloom, these dark green mounds spread 2 feet wide at maturity! Coneflowers are known for their large spikey flower heads that turn to seed in the fall, which will attract songbirds to come feast!

ProPlantTips for Care:

For best results, plant these herbaceous perennials in full sun in a well-drained area for the strongest stems and healthiest roots. New plants need regular moisture their first year, but established Coneflowers only need supplemental moisture during prolonged drought and extreme heat. All plants appreciate a 3-4-inch layer of arborist mulch and Nature Hills Root Booster to keep your plants stress-free.

Coneflowers rebloom without deadheading, but if spent flowers are removed, this will encourage continued beautiful blooms and improve general appearance. Divide your plants every 3-4 years to maintain their flowering vigor.
