Eye-Catcher® 'Tanager' Coneflower (Echinacea)

(Coneflower) A feast for your garden as well as your eyes! Enjoy the eye-catching display of color that Echinacea Eye-Catcher™ 'Tanager' brings to the garden. Standing 22-24 inches tall and spreading to 18 inches wide, 'Tanager' forms an upright mound of bright green foliage. Midsummer, as the heat rolls in, the golden orange blooms start to pop open. The Eye-Catcher™ series features a bold color scheme and excellent branching, which produces more flowers per plant. The large, showy, single flowers are 3 ½ inches wide with horizontal, overlapping petals with a rich chocolate cone in the center. Hardy in zones 4-8, coneflowers like to be planted in full sun locations and can handle just about any soil condition. Native to North America, Echinacea is a deer-resistant perennial. Enjoy the butterflies and hummingbirds as they feast on your beautiful blooms. Once the flowers fade, the fun doesn't stop there, the songbirds will soon follow as they enjoy the seeds from the dried cones. Eye-Catcher™ 'Tanager' is great for borders, in mass, or in a mixed bed with all your favorite coneflowers. Coneflowers also make for excellent cut flowers for indoor enjoyment.
