Coneflower, Artisan™ Soft Orange Coneflower

Artisan Soft Orange Echinacea is a freely branching native perennial with a uniform habit of upright stems that do not need staking and deep green foliage.  The large fragrant flowers open a vibrant deep orange that softens as they mature and bloom from summer until frost.  Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils.  The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed.  Drought tolerant.
