Echinacea Primadonna® Deep Rose
Flowers tirelessly from midsummer through mid-fall!
The blooms measure 4 to 5 inches across, with a large central cone and tightly-packed dark rose petals that stand out brilliantly even from across the garden. They arise on sturdy, thick stems just made for cutting, and are useful as everlastings as well as fresh cuts. But they also make fine bird-attractors in autumn, after the petals drop and the large seed-filled cones dry out on the plant.
Primadonna may sport an unusual color for Echinacea, but it has the same native vigor and tolerance of stress as the more common pink Coneflowers. Once established in your garden, it puts up with heat, humidity, cold, poor soil, and even drought. Very long-blooming (from midsummer through mid-fall in most climates), it is largely untroubled by pests or disease, and can be sheared back after flowering. Exceptionally low-maintenance!
This plant reaches 32 inches high, with superior branching and an airy, long-stemmed habit that looks good in border or large containers. Give it a sunny spot and watch it take off. Zones 3-9.
