Echinacea Prairie Splendor

Echinacea Prairie Splendor Details

Echinacea Prairie Splendor, commonly known as Coneflower, is an herbaceous perennial renowned for its beautiful flowers through spring and summer. The flowers are daisy like and made up of bright, rose-pink rays of petals which surround a dark orange, central cone. They are typically about 10 cm in diameter and the outer petals have a distinct downward arch. Birds will feed on the seeds produced and the flowers themselves attract butterflies and are great as a cut flower. The foliage comprises a mound of coarse, dark green leaves. The plant will typically grow to 50 cm tall and 30 cm wide, performing best on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun. It will also grow well in partial shade and is tolerant of light frost once established. Echinacea Prairie Splendor is a great plant for borders, rock gardens, mixed flower gardens, planting beneath larger trees, or mass planting for an impressive display.
