Beautiful rose-pink ray petals with a coppery-brown, spiky central cone.
Daisy-like flowers appear from midsummer thru fall, after many other
perennials have finished blooming. Coneflowers like it sunny and hot. 36
inches tall. Some spent blooms should be left on the plants in fall because
their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. |
