#1 Coneflower Sombrero Tres Amigos
Latin Name: Echinacea 'Balsomtresgo' Height: 18 - 20 inches Spread: 22 - 24 inches Sunlight: Full Sun; Part Sun Bloom Time: June to September Hardiness Zone: 5-9 Description: Sombrero Tres Amigos Coneflower is covered in multi-colored blooms of peach orange, magenta, and wine burgundy all throughout the summer on plants that are sturdy, compact, and well-branched. Deadheading can increase its already high volume of blooms. Towards the end of the season, allow blooms to remain on the plants and produce seeds, as they are a winter food source for song birds. Blooms are often cut and enjoyed inside. This hybrid nativar is a welcome addition to any sunny landscape bed, and is drought tolerant once established. Attracts: Bees; Butterflies; Birds
