Pollynation Orange Red Coneflower is a new selection with very early flowering and large flowers over a long bloom period. It forms a clump of rich to dark green leaves from which rise sturdy stems to 28 inches tall bearing 3-4" diameter coneflowers in shades of orange and red with its rays surrounding a rounded, darker orange-red center cone. All summer and well into fall, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators will enjoy feeding from the flowers, which are also excellent for cutting and displaying in a vase or flower arrangement. Don't forget to leave some spent flowers on the plant at the end of the bloom season, as finches and other birds will feast on the seeds during fall and winter. Coneflowers are a classic in the garden, and this one will be treasured for years to come.
