Accented with subtle streaks of violet and coral and centered by a dark reddish-brown eye, the vibrant, lightly fragrant flowers are irresistible to bees and butterflies.
In addition to its characteristic blooms, the tall, narrow habit of FRESCO Apricot Coneflower sets it apart from all others. Reaching up to 2.5 feet tall with a spread of approximately 1.6 feet, its grey-green foliage provides a beautiful contrast to the warm-toned flowers. This cheerful perennial brings both structure and vibrant colour to formal and cottage-style gardens alike. Ideal as a border or foundation plant, this salmon coneflower also shines in mass plantings or as a striking specimen. In addition, it makes an excellent cut flower for both fresh and dried arrangements.
Exceptionally floriferous with an impressive crown count, this fast-growing and long-blooming salmon coneflower delivers brilliant colour from June until frost. Deer and rabbit resistant and drought tolerant once established, FRESCO Apricot Echinacea thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. For added seasonal interest, leave some spent flower heads in place to provide seed for visiting birds.
