Flower of the Day - Hot Papaya Coneflower





Today's flower of the day is Hot Papaya Coneflower. With its bright red double blooms, this coneflower attracts hummingbirds and butterflies to your cottage garden. It blooms all summer into fall and makes a great cutting flower. It grows best in full sun for lucky zones 4-9.

Happy gardening!

  1. Beautiful flower. I love flowers, but hate to garden. I hate dirty hands. I wish I loved to work in the garden like my grandmother did. Oh well. Thanks for stopping by my blog & for leaving me a comment.
