Echinacea Eccentric (Coneflower)

Floriferous, Echinacea 'Eccentric' is an eye-catching Coneflower with semi-double, rich red flowers, 6 in. across (15 cm), adorned with a hint of purple and gradually maturing to orange-red. Well branched, its numerous flowering stems are strong and held upright. Blooming from early to late summer, this compact coneflower is an eye-catching addition to perennial borders, small gardens or patio containers. Can be used in fresh cut or dried arrangements.

• Grows up to 24 in. tall and wide (60 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. 
• No serious pest or disease issues. The double flowers may not be as attractive to butterflies and birds as single flowers. 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.
