Echinacea Maui Sunshine (Coneflower)

Floriferous, Echinacea 'Maui Sunshine' (Coneflower) is a striking perennial boasting a profusion of sweetly fragrant, brilliant yellow daisies, 4 in. across (10 cm), adorned with a prominent orange central cone. Blooming from midsummer until frost, this vigorous coneflower is well branched with strong, upright stems. It is an eye-catching addition to perennial borders, prairies or cottage gardens. Can be used in fresh cut or dried arrangements. 

• Grows up to 24-33 in. tall (60-82 cm) and 36 in. wide (90 cm).
• Thrives in full sun in average, dry to medium moisture, well drained soils. Tolerant of drought, heat and humidity.
• Perfect choice for beds and borders, prairies and meadows, wildflower gardens or cottage gardens.
• Excellent as cut flowers. If flower heads are not removed in the fall, the blackened cones will be visited by birds that feed on the seeds.
• No serious pest or disease issues. Attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators, but deer resistant.
• Remove spent flowers and cut back the stems to encourage further blooms. Deadheading will help them grow and thrive.
• Propagate by division in spring or fall or by root cuttings from late fall to early winter.
