SunMagic® Vintage Pink Coneflower (Echinacea)

(Coneflower) Iconic pink blooms and an abundance of summer flowers give Echinacea SUNMAGIC® Vintage Pink an easy-to-love place in the perennial garden. The pretty pink petals radiate around a raised, warm-toned center, creating that recognizable coneflower shape gardeners know and love. Its flowers are carried on sturdy stems above green foliage, adding color and texture to the landscape from mid to late summer.

At approximately 18–24 inches tall and 18–24 inches wide, this compact Echinacea can be worked into gardens both large and small. Plant it in full sun in USDA Zones 4–9. Its classic pink coloring is especially pretty woven among ornamental grasses, white-flowering perennials, deeper pinks, and purples. It also works well in cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and along sunny garden borders.

Expect bees and butterflies to discover the flowers as they open. When the blooms have finished, keeping a few seed heads instead of deadheading everything can encourage finches to stop by for a late-season meal. Echinacea is typically passed over by deer, another helpful characteristic for the landscape.

The long-lasting flowers of SUNMAGIC® Vintage Pink can also be enjoyed indoors as an excellent cut flower. Descended from Echinacea purpurea, a North American native perennial, this cultivated selection retains its native heritage while offering its own distinctive pink coloring. With its iconic color and pollinator appeal, SUNMAGIC® Vintage Pink is a charming addition to sunny gardens.
