Echinacea Sombrero Tres Amigos (Coneflower)

Echinacea Sombrero Tres Amigos (Coneflower) is a vibrant perennial boasting a profusion of bright, rich peachy-coral flowers that age to rose and fade to burgundy. An early bloomer, this attractive coneflower has a compact habit and provides a vibrant floral display in the garden from early to late summer, sometimes with additional sporadic bloom until frost. Perfect for small gardens and containers.

• Grows up to 18-20 in. tall (45-50 cm) and 22-24 in. wide (55-60 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. 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.
