Know before you buy
This variety is specifically bred for its compact habit, reaching a mature height and width of only 10 inches. Its small stature makes it an excellent choice for tight spaces, small containers, or the very front of a garden border.
Yes, for the best performance and most abundant magenta-red blooms, this coneflower requires a location with full sun. Planting it in a spot with at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily will ensure it stays compact and flowers throughout the summer.
While no plant is completely deer-proof, this variety is considered deer resistant. Its texture and scent are generally unappealing to deer, making it a safer choice for gardens in areas with high wildlife traffic.
Once established, the Sunmagic Petite Burgundy is quite resilient and can tolerate periodic drought. However, it will perform best with regular watering during the peak of summer heat to keep the blooms looking fresh.
Absolutely. Its miniature habit makes it perfectly suited for tabletop containers or mixed patio planters. Just ensure your container has adequate drainage holes to prevent the roots from sitting in water.
This coneflower is hardy down to Zone 4, meaning it is well-equipped to handle cold winters in many regions. As an herbaceous perennial, the foliage will die back in the winter and return with new growth in the spring.
