Echinacea 'Moab Sunset'

Moab Sunset Echinacea is treasured for its exceptionally vibrant double orange coneflower blooms, reminiscent of a beautiful Utah desert sunset. Each flower opens with a cheerful, bright orange “skirt” of petals encircling a greenish-orange central button. As the blooms mature, the centres transform into large 10 cm (4 in), fluffy reddish-orange pompoms, creating a bold, unforgettable display.

Exceptionally floriferous, Moab Sunset Coneflower offers an extended flowering season from July through October. The long-lasting blooms of this orange Echinacea plant have a slow colour shift, keeping the colour bright and uplifting over a longer period. Regular deadheading will further encourage continuous, abundant flowering, ensuring peak performance all season long.

Reaching up to 50 cm in height, this upright orange coneflower plant forms tidy clumps that are ideal for perennial borders and beds, wildflower-style plantings, and informal garden designs. Its compact size also makes it perfect for patio planters and containers, bringing radiant colour to smaller spaces.

With sturdy stems and durable blooms, Moab Sunset Echinacea is an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements, adding warmth and texture indoors as well as out. While pollinators will still visit, double-flowered varieties typically produce less pollen, nectar, and seed than single-flowered forms.

Hardy to zone 4a, this vigorous and low-maintenance cultivar thrives in full sun and performs reliably in both dry and moist, well-drained soils. Deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, Echinacea 'Moab Sunset' is perhaps one of the most intensely coloured coneflowers available. Simply superb!
