Coconut Lime and a variety of yellow coneflowers in a stunning coneflower garden. Coneflower Sundown
This cross between Echinacea purpurea plant and Echinacea paradoxa better known as Echinacea Sundown is part of the Big Sky coneflower family hybridized by Richard Saul at Itsaul Nursery in Atlanta, GA. The large blooms feature reflexed petals in a variety of orange through peach hues. Like every other Echinacea coneflower, they are more intensely colored when they first open and fade as they age. The brown central cone of this variety is round and flat. Plants reach 30 inches tall and nearly as wide in full sun. Hot Papaya Coneflower
Buy Coneflower Hot Papaya Here Bright orange to paprika-colored, fully double flowers have short, fringed petals at the top and center, nearly covering the central cone. These are surrounded by a skirt of the usual Echinacea flower petals. These unique blooms sit atop stiff, 3 foot stems with burgundy markings. Hot Papaya is heat and drought tolerant with good disease resistance. Orange Meadowbrite EchinaceaPhotographic Print The orange daisy flowers are lightly fragrant and good for cutting.
