Echinacea Mama Mia (Coneflower)

One word. Irresistible. Echinacea 'Mama Mia' is a great-looking perennial boasting a profusion of large flowers whose color change from red to orange to coral to pink. A rich cocktail of colors that are easy to marry in the garden. This mid-size Coneflower has an upright and well-branched habit and provides a vibrant floral display in the garden from mid to late summer, sometimes with additional sporadic bloom until frost. Perfect for perennial borders, prairies, or cottage gardens.

• Grows up to 20-24 in. tall (50-60 cm) and 30 in. wide (75 cm).
• Thrives in full sun in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerant to 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.
• Propagate by division in spring or fall or by root cuttings from late fall to early winter.
