Sombrero Flamenco Orange Coneflower
Echinacea x hybrida 'Balsomenco'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: This sturdy and compact coneflower offers an abundance of large, single flowers with vibrant orange-red petals surrounding a brown cone center. The blooming period starts midsummer and continues through early fall. As the seed heads dry, they can be left up for hungry birds or to add winter interest.
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.
