{"product_id":"sombrero-salsa-red-coneflower-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Sombrero® Salsa Red Coneflower - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eSombrero® Salsa Red brings hot orange-red color to the coneflower bed. The lightly scented flowers have overlapping petals that give them a full, finished look, and each is centered with an orange-brown cone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlooms keep coming from early summer through late summer on a sturdy plant about two feet tall. It works well in borders, mass plantings and containers, and it makes a colorful cut flower. Songbirds visit the seed heads late in the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle daisy-form flowers about 3 inches across with overlapping, slightly drooping petals in a warm orange-red, like chili pepper red with an orange cast. The domed cone is orange-brown. Flowers sit atop branched, upright stems above a clump of dark green, lance-shaped leaves. The plant is 24 to 26 inches tall and 16 to 22 inches wide. At peak bloom it is studded with many bright orange-red flowers at varying heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fiery red-orange flowers contrast sharply with lavender's cool purple spikes, and both like hot sun and well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it full sun to light part shade and average to lean soil that drains well, especially over winter; once established it handles dry spells with little extra water. Hardy in zones 4 to 9, though like many hybrid coneflowers it can be short-lived in heavy or wet soil. Plants that head into fall with a full tuft of leaves at the base overwinter best, so avoid cutting it back hard and leave the last seed heads standing for winter birds.\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 Orange-red with an orange-brown cone\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, branched clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–26 in tall × 16–22 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\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 Late-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-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.
