Echinacea 'All That Jazz' PPAF CPBRAF
Common Name: Coneflower
Zones 4 to 8.
Full sun to part shade.
Plants reach 30 to 36 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide; Clumping habit. Growth rate: Moderate.
Lavender pink flowers with completely quilted ray petals and an orange cone.
Praised for their cheerful brightly colored flowers, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. Be sure to leave some spent blooms on the plants in the fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. Dried seed heads also provide winter interest.
Coneflowers like it sunny and hot. Though they will tolerate light shade, fewer flowers will be produced and the plants will be weakened. Light, loamy soils are best but coneflowers will grow in any well-drained soil. Once established, they are quite drought tolerant.
Excellent as a border plant, in mass or containers, as cut flower or foliage, dried flower or seed heads; fragrant flowers attract butterflies. Deer resistant. |
