Flower of the Day - Coral Reef Coneflower




Todays flower of the day is the Coral Reef Coneflower. This stunning Echinacea gets its name from its coral reef-like coloring: deep orange fluffy pom centers to light coral on the tips. It blooms mid to late summer in full sun to part shade and is adored by butterflies and humminbirds! This gorgeous daisy-like flower grows to 3' tall for lucky zones 4-9.

Happy gardening!
