Echinacea purpurea 'Fatal Attraction' PP18429
Common Name: Coneflower;
Zones 3 to 8.
Full sun to part shade.
Plants reach 26 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide ;
Clumping habit. Growth rate: Moderate.
Vibrant purplish-pink flowers with 2 rows of perky petals that never droop. Strong, dark red to near-black stems contrast sharply against the bright green foliage.
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. If deadheaded, the bloom cycle will be extended. However, some spent blooms should be left on the plants in fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide interest in the winter. Deer resistant. |
