Echinacea/Coneflower – Rhymes with Orange

Description

Echinacea ‘Rhymes with Orange’ is a bold and vibrant coneflower featuring rich, sunset-orange petals that gently fade to golden hues as they surround a prominent coppery-brown cone. Blooming from mid-summer to fall, this hardy perennial attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators while adding warm, eye-catching color to borders, cottage gardens, and prairie-style plantings. With strong, upright stems and excellent branching, Rhymes with Orange is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Its fiery tones and long-lasting blooms make it a standout addition to any summer garden.

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. Requires very little fertilizing.
