SunMagic® Vintage Watermelon Coneflower (Echinacea)

(Coneflower) Bright summer color takes center stage with Echinacea SUNMAGIC® Vintage Watermelon. Watermelon-pink flowers open above deep green foliage for a vibrant seasonal display. Broad petals surround prominent central cones, creating the classic coneflower appearance. Flowers begin opening in summer and continue providing color into fall.

Echinacea SUNMAGIC® Vintage Watermelon grows 18-24 inches tall with a similar 18-24 inch spread. Its compact, upright habit keeps the plant looking tidy throughout the growing season. Plant this perennial in full sun for the strongest growth and best flowering. It works well in perennial borders, pollinator gardens, mass plantings, and mixed garden beds.

Hardy in zones 4-9, this Echinacea handles summer heat once established. The sturdy stems hold the colorful flowers above the foliage and make them easy to enjoy. The blooms also work well as cut flowers for fresh arrangements. Regularly removing faded flowers can help keep plants looking fresh during their blooming season.

Bees and butterflies visit the flowers, making this coneflower a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly spaces. As flowers mature, their prominent cones add texture to the garden. Leave some seed heads standing after flowering to provide an additional food source for visiting birds. With bold watermelon-pink blooms and a compact habit, Echinacea SUNMAGIC® Vintage Watermelon delivers dependable summer color without taking over the garden.
