The wide petals surround a near-black cone on dark stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is one of the taller coneflowers in its group at about 2 feet or more, with good branching from the base and a fairly compact shape. It blooms from midsummer into late summer, and its seed heads feed birds in fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn upright, well-branched clump about 26 to 28 inches tall and 26 to 28 inches wide. Leaves are lance-shaped to oval, 3 to 6 inches long, dark green with a coarse, slightly rough texture, forming a dense base with smaller leaves up the sturdy stems. Single daisy-like flowers about 5 inches across have wide, flat ray petals in vibrant coral pink that fade to lavender pink with age, held horizontally around a raised, spiny, nearly black cone, on dark stems. At peak bloom the plant carries many flowers at once, held on strong stems well above the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt shares lavender's need for sun and good drainage, and its coral flowers aging to lavender pink tie in beautifully with lavender's color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun to light part shade in average to lean, well-drained soil; it handles heat and dry spells once established and dislikes wet winter soil. Hardy in zones 4-8. Deadhead to extend bloom, but leave some seed heads in fall for winter interest and for finches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Echinacea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coral pink maturing to lavender pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, well-branched clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26–28 in tall × 26–28 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
