Ruby Star Coneflower
Echinacea purpurea 'Rubinstern'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Showy summer-flowering perennial with purple to magenta flowers. In addition to the unique coloring, the petals of this variety do not droop as do the other coneflowers. Deadheading will promote additional flowering. Fairly drought tolerant and excellent as a cut flower.
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.
