SunMagic® Vintage Fuchsia Coneflower (Echinacea)

(Coneflower) Saturated color gives Echinacea SUNMAGIC® Vintage Fuchsia a bold presence from summer into fall. Large, fuchsia-pink flowers feature broad petals surrounding a prominent central cone. Strong branching encourages an impressive number of blooms while keeping the plant compact. Flowering begins around mid-June and continues well into the season.

Echinacea SUNMAGIC® Vintage Fuchsia grows 18-24 inches tall and spreads 18-24 inches wide. It thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. The dense, mounding habit fits easily into perennial beds, borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. Plant several together to create an even larger display of vivid fuchsia blooms.

Hardy in zones 4-9, this Echinacea tolerates cold winters and handles summer heat once established. Coneflowers are native to North America and provide valuable resources for garden wildlife. Deer tend to avoid them, making this perennial a useful choice where browsing can become a problem.

Bees, bumblebees, and butterflies visit the flowers throughout the blooming season. The plentiful blooms give pollinators many opportunities to feed from summer into fall. As the flowers finish, their raised cones develop seed and remain standing above the foliage. Leave some mature seed heads in place for birds to visit later in the season.
