Echinacea Prima Saffron (Coneflower)

Echinacea Prima Saffron (Coneflower) is a compact perennial boasting a profusion of bright saffron-colored daisies, adorned with a prominent orange-brown center cone. Blooming from early summer until frost, this dwarf coneflower is excellent for patio containers, small gardens or planted en masse at the front of the border.

• Grows up to 12-18 in. tall (30-45 cm) and 20 in. wide (50 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.
