SunMagic® Vintage Hot Pink Coneflower (Echinacea)

(Coneflower) Vivid flowers bring an energetic burst of color to Echinacea SUNMAGIC® Vintage Hot Pink. Large, hot pink blooms rise above green foliage on sturdy stems. Broad petals surround prominent central cones, giving each flower the classic coneflower appearance. Flowering begins around mid-June and continues through summer into fall.

A compact size makes Echinacea SUNMAGIC® Vintage Hot Pink easy to fit into sunny garden spaces. Plants reach 18-24 inches tall and spread 18-24 inches wide. Strong branching creates a full habit while supporting an abundance of buds and flowers. Give this perennial full sun and well-drained soil for its best growth and bloom production.

This Echinacea grows as a hardy perennial in zones 4-9. Coneflowers are native to North America and handle warm summer conditions well once established. Deer generally avoid browsing Echinacea, making it a helpful option for gardens that regularly experience deer pressure.

The hot pink flowers draw bees, bumblebees, and butterflies throughout the extended bloom season. Pollinators can move between the numerous flowers as fresh buds continue opening. Sturdy stems also make these colorful blooms a good choice for fresh-cut arrangements. Harvest flowers throughout summer for bouquets or leave them outdoors for pollinators. Later in the season, mature flower centers develop seeds that can provide another food source for wildlife.
