Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Description: Summer and fall blooming flowers grace this coneflower in multiple colors ranging from red, orange, pink, yellow and creamy white. Outside of the bloom season, dark green leaves on sturdy stems form attractive clumps. It is tolerant of drought and heavy soils.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
