Know before you buy
The SunSeekers Rainbow coneflowers begin as a light yellow and gradually shift through shades of salmon, coral, and rose as the flowers mature. This color transformation occurs on the same plant, providing a dynamic look throughout the blooming period.
These are low-maintenance plants that thrive with moderate watering and well-drained soil. Because they have strong stems, they generally do not require staking, making them an easy addition to most garden beds.
While they are ideal for beds and borders, they can be grown in containers as long as the pot is large enough to accommodate their 12-18 inch spread and has excellent drainage. Ensure the container is placed in a location that receives full sun.
These Echinacea are hardy in zones 4-9. If you live within these zones, they will return as perennials year after year, provided they are planted in well-drained soil.
Yes, their semi-double blooms and sturdy stems make them an excellent choice for fresh-cut bouquets. They hold up well in vases and provide a vibrant, long-lasting display indoors.
To allow for their mounding growth habit and 12-18 inch spread, you should space the plants at least 12 inches apart. This ensures proper airflow and gives them enough room to reach their full height of 18-24 inches.
