Echinacea (Coneflower) - Big Sky Sunrise PPAF
Common Name: Coneflower
Hardiness Zones: 4 5 6 7 8 9 Description:
A dramatic new introduction for 2005 that is sure to be much in demand. As ‘Sunrise’ opens, we are reminded of the sun at dawn, the fragrant blooms opening to luminous shades of soft citron or butter yellow. The broad-petalled flowers can reach up to 5 inches across with petals that are relaxed and slightly overlap. The cone in the center of the flower will begin green and gradually give way to a soft gold color. These beautiful flowers will bloom from July through October, attracting butterflies to your garden the entire time—and they are long lasting as cut flowers. Removing faded flowers will improve re-bloom or leave the old flowers in place to set seeds that attract songbirds.
‘Sunrise’ is a well-branched and vigorous grower that will mature into stocky plants 30 to 36 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide—a true perennial that will last for years. It will do best in an area with full sun and a well drained soil. Once established, ‘Sunrise’ will be very drought tolerant. Be sure that you plant your ‘Sunrise’ in an area where its rose-like fragrance can be enjoyed. Companion plants that will also bloom in mid-summer include Russian Sage, Stokes Aster, Veronica and Daylilies.
