Echinacea ‘Carrot Cake’

Echinacea ‘Carrot Cake’ is a ‘must have’ for the cutting edge garden due to its recent introduction. This spectacular coneflower has been bred for super compact, vigour and good branching support for intense floral display. The latest in trendy colours sees flat, fully double flowers in glowing bi-colour shades of orange to carrot-orange topped with a big dark orange centre. Expect height and width between 12 to 15 inches. Echinacea in coast BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin to average to poor soils for best overwintering. Elsewhere, they love to be frozen solid all winter long. Great winter interest and seeds for birds. Attracts bees and butterflies.
