SOMBRERO® SALSA RED Echinacea is a long, and prolific bloomer – producing the most colourful spicy red-orange blooms with dark centre cones. The flower petals overlap - spaced more closely together than a traditional coneflower, producing a fuller look. SOMBRERO® SALSA RED Coneflower plants are compact, well-branched, sturdy, resilient, and loaded with blooms.
Hardy and easy to grow, Coneflowers have become a garden mainstay with their bright, cheerful flowers, and tolerance to hot, windy, sunny locations. Drought tolerant once established. Echinacea SOMBRERO® SALSA RED is attractive to finches and other birds for the winter food Coneflower seed heads provide.
