Cherry Fluff Pink Coneflower is a compact coneflower with smashing creamy white to light cherry pink, double flowers with lime green centres. As the flowers age, the pink blush becomes more intense and contrasts well against the olive-green leaves. It is an upright perennial with a tidy growth habit. A prolific bloomer, this double pink coneflower flowers from mid-summer to early fall.
A mature Cherry Fluff Echinacea can grow up to 1.5 feet tall and wide. A plant-to-plant spacing of 1.5 ft (18”) is recommended. It prefers full sun, and in well-drained soils with dry to medium moisture levels. Cherry Fluff Coneflower is easy to grow and has a very hardy nature. It tolerates environmental stresses from cold, drought, heat, and humidity.
This pale pink Echinacea is an extraordinary, trouble-free perennial for any sunny summer border, and grows well in containers. Deadheading of spent flowers will keep the plant tidy and compact, and encourage continued blooming. Echinacea Cherry Fluff's marvelous, multi-toned flowers can be used fresh-cut or dried in bouquets. It has no serious pest and disease issues.
