Echinacea Secret Passion (Coneflower)

Echinacea 'Secret Passion' is a vigorous perennial boasting a profusion of large double flowers adorned with bright flamingo-pink cones surrounded by a row of lighter pink ray florets. Blooming from midsummer until frost, this mid-size coneflower has a strong upright habit with well branched 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 18-27 in. tall (45-67 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. 
• 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.
