Echinacea KISMET® 'Intense Orange'

KISMET Intense Orange Echinacea will set your garden ablaze with exceptionally long-blooming, vivid reddish-orange flowers. A standout in the KISMET® Series, this variety surprised even its breeders with the exceptional longevity of its blooms and the extraordinary abundance of flowers produced by its high crown count. Its impressive 10 cm (4 in) blooms begin in early June and continue right through to the first hard frost.

Fiery orange petals surround a rich reddish-copper cone, creating a bold, high-impact display. Blooming in its very first year, each flower remains attractive for weeks. While this orange Echinacea plant will rebloom without deadheading, promptly removing spent flowers encourages even more blooms and keeps the plant looking its best.

Dense green foliage forms a broad yet compact upright mound reaching 60 cm (24 in.) wide, with excellent branching that quickly becomes covered in deep, glowing shades of orange. Ideal for mixed beds and borders - whether in manicured settings or naturalized landscapes - Echinacea KISMET® 'Intense Orange' is especially striking when planted in mass. During trials, pollinators were especially drawn to KISMET Intense Orange Coneflower, making it a vibrant, reliable choice for pollinator gardens. It also makes an outstanding cut flower for fresh arrangements, bringing colour and long-lasting beauty indoors. Leave a few spent blooms in place through winter to add seasonal interest to the garden while providing a valuable food source for birds.

Hardy to zone 4 and thriving in full sun, this adaptable Echinacea tolerates drought, heat, humidity, and even poor soils with ease. Being from the KISMET® Series, Intense Orange Coneflower also has enhanced overwintering survivability. Beyond its dazzling colour, the extraordinary volume of blooms delivers unmatched, season-long flower power to any landscape.
