Echinacea x hybrida Artisan™ Soft Orange (Coneflower)

Echinacea x hybrida Artisan™ Soft Orange (Coneflower) is a compact perennial boasting a profusion of very large, single flowers that open deep orange and soften as they age. An early bloomer, this attractive coneflower 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 24-34 in. tall (60-85 cm) and 10-25 in. wide (25-62 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.
